Glycerol Management: Challenges and Opportunities for Biodiesel Producers and Refiners
Abstract: During the last few years, concerns with availability and cost of conventional liquid fuels increased considerably. Considering the present scenario, bio-components are playing an important role in transportation fuels. One such bio-based fuel that is being widely commercialized is biodiesel. With the commercial production of biodiesel a glut of glycerol is going to be created as a byproduct; it will cause market prices to plummet which imbalance the economic viability …

PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF BROWNTOP MILLET AND EVALUATION OF ITS SUITABILITY IN PRODUCT FORMULATION
Abstract: The present study aims to investigate the physicochemical properties of Browntop millet, comparing it with refined wheat flour and evaluation of its suitability in product formulation. The proximate composition (moisture, ash, protein, fat and crude fiber) and functional properties (solubility, swelling power, water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity andbulk density) were studied using AACC standard methods. The product bread was formulated by replacement of refined wheat flour of different levels …

Synthesis, Characterization and Optimization of Essential Oil from Pumpkin Seed
Abstract: The main aim of this research work was extraction, characterization and optimization of essential oil from pumpkin seed, cucurbita pepo variety using ethanol as a solvent. The extraction was carried out by using a Soxhlet, leaching method and oil was separated from solvents by using rotary evaporator. Pumpkin seed was analyzed for proximate analysis and found that moisture content of 5.21 , crude proteins content of 22.50.31%, crude fat content …

Advantage of Microsilica in Concrete Compressive Strength
Abstract: Abstract Microsilica is an undefined sort of silica tidy for the most part gathered in sack house channels as by-result of the silicon and ferro-silicon generation. The paper condenses essential physical and synthetic properties of miniaturized scale silica and utilizes those outcomes for an assessment of small scale silica from a Health Safety and Environment (HSE) point of view. Small scale silica comprises of circular particles with a normal molecule …
