THE DETERMINATION OF THE ACTIVITIES AND SPECIFICITY OF ENZYMES IN FERMENTATION OF STARCH-FROM MAIZE

ABSTRACTThe Anatomy of this project write-up encompasses the ordinary look of enzymes as organic molecules; rather it sheds more light into the comprehensive view and determination of the catalytic and specific activity enzymes particularly-DIASTASE, MALTASE and zymase can exploit in industrial application, also critically important is the selective ways of providing fundamental data which allows the society-particularly small-scale brewers to understand and exploit the chemistry of fermentat...

Phytochemical Screening And Invivo Antiplasmodial Activity Of Methanol Extract Of Baobab Leaves (Adansonia Digitata)

ABSTRACTTwenty-two healthy albino mice were grouped into A, B, C, D, and E. Group A had six mice while groups B – E had four mice each. The mice were infected with Plasmodium berghei and the methanol extract of the leaves of Adansonia digitata was obtained by maceration extraction method. Phytochemical screening of the plant extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, carbohydrates and cardiac glycosides. The infected mice Group C, D and E were orally treated with the ...

Qualitative And Quantitative Analysis of some Phytochemicals in Diodia sarmentosa Leaf

ABSTRACT:Research and reviews are continually being carried out in order to discover cheaper and abundant plant sources of bioactive components which exhibit pharmacognostic and biochemical effects.

Effect of Different Organic and Inorganic Nitrogen Sources on the Kinetics of the Breakdown of Crude Oil Using Pseudomonas

ABSTRACTThe option of using microbes in the remediation of polluted sited have received wide acceptance due to its sustainability and environmental friendliness. This study is aimed at using the kinetic parameters (Vmax and Km) to assess the effect of organic and inorganic nitrogen sources on the performance of Pseudomonas sp., during the remediation of crude oil polluted sites. The rate of crude oil breakdown was assessed by determining the total petroleum hydrocarbon in the soil (after cont...

A STUDY ON PHYSIO CHEMICAL AND QUALITATIVE TRAITS ON SOME RICE VARIETIES (Oryza sativa)

INTRODUCTIONThis is a Biotechnology project on study of Physio chemical and Qualitative traits on some Rice Varieties (Oryza Sativa). Rice is the world’s most important food crop and a major source of food for more than half the world’s population. Rice could be a staple food for simple fraction of the population within the world. Rice could be a wholesome nutritive cereal grain that possesses uncommon dietary necessities. Rice is one in all the foremost food product c...

Chemical pathology (more commonly known as clinical biochemistry or clinical chemistry) is the area of pathology that is generally concerned with analysis of body fluids and extracts and will be used in this reportThis research study is based ...

ANTIOXIDANTS AS STRATEGY AGAINST METAL EXPOSURE

"Times New Roman","serif"">Abstract Oxidative stress contributes to the pathophysiology of exposure to heavy metals. Beneficial renal effects of some medications, such as chelation therapy depend at least partially on the ability to alleviate oxidative stress. The administration of various natural or synthetic antioxidants has been shown to be of benefit in the prevention and attenuation of metal induced biochemical alterations. These include vitamins, N-acetylcysteine, α-lipoic acid, mela...

Evaluation of the Immunomodulatory Effect of Oral Administration of Methanol Extract of Gongronema Latifolium (Utazi) In Wistar Albino Rats.

ABSTRACTCHAPTER ONE1.0 INTRODUCTIONWe are constantly being exposed to infectious agents and yet, in most cases, we are able to resist these infections. It is our immune system that enables us to resist infections.  The immune system can be defined as a network of lymphoid organs, tissues and cells and also the products of these cells. The main function of immune system is to protect the body against infectious microbes or foreign substances (Abbas and Lichtman, 2005). Each structure of t...

Effects Of Crude And Citrullus Lanatus Seed Oil On Some Heamatological Indices (Pcv, Wbc, Rbc And Platelets) Of Wistar Albino Rats

ABSTRACTThis study investigated the possible effects of n- hexane extract of crude and degummed Citrullus lanatus seed oil on RBC, WBC, PCV, and Platelet level on wistar albino rats. The result, showed no significant increase in PCV, RBC, WBC and Platelet levels in rats fed with crude and degummed Citrullus lanatus seed oil as well as the control.The study showed that rats fed with the crude Citrullus lanatus seed oil had a non significant increase when compared with the degummed Citrullus la...

Comparative Assessment Of Phytochemical Content And Antioxidant Potential Of Gongronema Latifolium (Utazi) And Ocimum Gratissimum (Scent Leaf) Leaves And Stem

ABSTRACT Vegetables are the edible parts of plant that are consumed wholly or in parts, raw or cooked as part of main dish or salad. A vegetable includes leaves, stems, roots, flowers, seed, fruits, bulbs, tubers and fungi (Uzo, 1999). Vegetables are good sources of oil, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins depending on the vegetable consumed (Ihekoronye & Ngoddy, 2000). (Ononugbu, 2002) reported that vegetable fats and oil lower blood lipids thereby reducing the occurrence of disease assoc...
