Identification of alcohol production from pineapple peel using isolated yeast from food waste water / Nur Suhada Ishak by Ishak, Nur Suhada

“…Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the common yeast that are able to produce alcohol due to its high alcohol productivity, high alcohol tolerance and ability of fermenting wide range of sugars. Main objectives are to identify alcohol production from pineapple peel using FTIR Spectrophotometer analysis and to evaluate the effectiveness of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) activity based on the optimum pH in the production of alcohol from pineapple peel. …”

Impact of control behaviour on unacceptable variation in acrylamide in French fries. by Sanny, M., Luning, Pieternel A., Marcelis, Willem J., Selamat, Jinap, Van Boekel, Martinus A. J. S.

“…However, even under appropriate technological (advanced equipment, low reducing sugars in raw materials) and managerial conditions (competent people, appropriate procedures, etc), it is expected that daily control of food handlers (at receipt and during frying) may be still a major factor contributing to variable concentrations in acrylamide.…”

Noise-induced symmetry breaking far from equilibrium and the emergence of biological homochirality by Jafarpour, Farshid, Biancalani, Tommaso, Goldenfeld, Nigel

“…The origin of homochirality, the observed single-handedness of biological amino acids and sugars, has long been attributed to autocatalysis, a frequently assumed precursor for early life self-replication. …”

Strain-level fitness in the gut microbiome is an emergent property of glycans and a single metabolite by Park, Sun-Yang, Rao, Chitong, Coyte, Katharine Z, Kuziel, Gavin A, Zhang, Yancong, Huang, Wentao, Franzosa, Eric A, Weng, Jing-Ke, Huttenhower, Curtis, Rakoff-Nahoum, Seth

“…Here, we reveal that fitness of the Bacteroidales, the dominant order of bacteria in the human gut, is an emergent property of glycans and one specific metabolite, butyrate. Distinct sugars serve as strain-variable fitness switches activating context-dependent inhibitory functions of butyrate. …”

Study on bioethanol production from oil palm trunk SAP by Nurul Ain, Jalanni

“…Old oil palm trunk becomes a promising source of sugars by proper aging after logging and,thus,its sap can be a good feedstock for bioethanol.It aims to develop alternative resources waste to wealth for bio-ethanol production using available biomass in this country.To produce high production of bioethanol,determine fermentation conditions are important in culture fermentation to predict the optimum temperature and optimum inoculums size.The process selection includes preparation of pure culture, yeast activation, fermentation profile,and validation between two types of yeast,batch fermentation and analysis of the data.The overall process performance is measured by the productivity and quality of bioethanol produced.Glucose was thoroughly nearly consumed after 48 hour for the fermentation profile. …”
