Characterising the metabolic functionality of the preterm neonatal gut microbiome prior to the onset of necrotising enterocolitis: a pilot study by Chapman, JA, Wroot, E, Brown, T, Beck, LC, Embleton, ND, Berrington, JE, Stewart, CJ

“…Conclusions: Before NEC onset, the preterm gut microbiota showed greater metabolic utilisation of amino acids, potentially indicating a shift from predominantly saccharolytic to proteolytic fermentation. Products of amino acid breakdown could therefore act as biomarkers for NEC development. …”

Biological treatment of palm oil mill effluent using Trichoderma viride by Abdul Karim, Mohamed Ismail, Ahmad Kamil, Ahmad Qalam

“…More than 95% reductin in Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) of the POME was achieved after 10-14 days of fermentation. The fungal biomass produced from the POME was 1·37-1·42 g/litre (dry weight) of mycelium with a crude protein content of 37·6-40·7%.…”

Developing a web app in conjunction with a honey dehydrator by Sim, Yang Kai

“…Studies have shown that the typical moisture content of honey ranges from 21 to 28%, an undesirable range for long periods of storage considering the fact that honey with moisture content above 17% contributes to the fermentation of honey[1]. In order to prevent the degradation of honey quality, dehydrating honey as a means to reduce moisture content should be considered. …”

Rheology of liquid formulations and searching for eco-friendly thickeners by Soh, Wendy Yun Zheng

“…The report also discusses traditional and common thickener ingredients used in shampoo formulations, ways to source alternative ingredients using life cycle assessment and feasibility tests, and methods to produce more sustainable ingredients, such as bio-fermentation. Sustainable alternative ingredients to current thickeners will be listed, such as chitosan, cellulose, carrageenan, hyaluronic acid, and alginate.…”

Primate resting postures : an adaptation to mammalian herbivory? by Chua, Physilia Ying Shi.

“…The functional separation of different particle sizes in the gut of an herbivorous primate is important, as faster excretion of large particles reduces the intake-limitation posed by the long microbial fermentation of plant. This separation functions only along a gravity gradient, therefore, a primate’s resting postures may affect the efficiency of its digestive strategy. …”

Domestic wastewater biosolids accumulation by liquid state bioconversion process for rapid composting by Fakhru'l-Razi, A., Alam, Md. Zahangir, Idris, Azni, Abd-Aziz, Suraini, Molla, Abul H.

“…Lower SRF (1.08x 1012m/kg) was perceived in microbially treated sludge after 6 days of fermentation. The observed parameters were highly influenced after 8 days of treatment. …”

Evaluation of oil palm frond for biobutanol production by different Clostridia species by Abubakar, Abdurrahman, Md Salleh, Madihah, Yahya, Adibah, Hussin, Huszalina, Shiong, Chong Chun, Mohamad, Shaza Eva, Abd Aziz, Suraini

“…HPLC analysis revealed that glucose was the highest fraction in the juice, accounting for 57% to 66%, while fructose (12%-17%) and sucrose (19%-25%) made up the remaining percentage. Fermentation inhibitors like gallic and ferulic acids were also detected in the juice using the HPLC technique, and their concentrations also increased with age. …”
