“…Rice flour having two different water content (20% and 30%) were exposed to different level of microwave power (600 W, 700 W and 800 W) with 8 min treatment time to assess its influence on amylose content, thermal properties, morphological structure, functional and crystalline structural that affect bread quality. …”

A newly isolated organic solvent tolerant Bacillus sphaericus 205y producing organic solvent-stable lipase by Hun, Chin John, Raja Abd Rahman, Raja Noor Zaliha, Salleh, Abu Bakar, Basri, Mahiran

“…Four production media were tested and medium M3 yielded the highest lipase activity of 0.42 U ml-1 min-1 at 36 h incubation time. Stability studies in various organic solvents at 25% (v/v) showed that lipase from B. sphaericus 205y were not only stable but also activated by n-hexane and p-xylene by 3.5- and 2.9-folds, respectively. …”
