Desizing of Cotton Fabrics With Enzymes for Improved Performance
Abstract: Desizing of cotton substrates with Amylase enzymes has been practiced since long time and is commercially successful. Amylases convert the water insoluble starches, used during sizing operation for enhancing the performance of the warp yarns, into water soluble products which are removed during subsequent washing. The use of enzymes for desizing is quite safe for the cotton substrates and do not cause any detrimental effect on the cotton cellulose unlike …

Comparative Study of Dextrose Production from Locally Sourced Cassava, Tigernut and Yam
Abstract: Starch was extracted after sedimentation from seven samples, TME 419, TMS 30572, Provitamin, Tigernut, Boko, Mumuyi and Onitsha. The first three samples were cassava varieties while the last three samples were species of yam variety Dioscorea rotundata. The extracted starch were gelatinized and hydrolyzed enzymatically to produce 250ml of dextrose from each sample. From spectrometer analysis it showed that Mumuyi dextrose has the highest glucose concentration of 0.72mg/ml when compared …

Studies on Batch Leaching of Excess Salt from Agricultural Soil
Abstract: This paper discusses about the experimentation on leaching of salt from agricultural soil. The leaching behavior of agricultural soil is studied for the recovery of salt. The main aim of leaching of salt from agricultural soil is to remove the salt from agricultural soil as the presence of salt in soil affects the soil fertility and causes 'structural breakdown' in grains. Hence this process is used to remove excess salts …
