In this work, we investigated the effect starch binders compositions on the quality of briquettes from the pyrolysis of Durian lai peel (Durio kutejensis Becc). The briquettes were prepared from Durian peel charcoal by adding starch as a binder at various concentrations of 3%, 4%,5%, and 6%...
Starch content and the proximate composition of the durian seeds were examined. It then underwent a chemical process to obtain moisture content and monacolin K which are needed for suitable angkak production. From the results, the durian seed has the potential to be employed as a novel substrate...
Addition of 1% corn starch as adhesive to the bio-char yielded pellets with a heating value of 22.37 MJ/kg. The pellets are stable and could be easily handled, transported and stored compared to the bio-char itself. This research is significant in respect to biomass waste reduction and ...
Starch content and the proxi- mate composition of the durian seeds were examined. It then underwent a chemical process to obtain moisture content and monacolin K which are needed for suitable angkak production. From the results, the durian seed has the potential to be employed as a novel ...
The durian rind is abundant in polysaccharides, mainly pectin, and also includes hemicellulose and starch (Hasem et al., 2019) Pectin is widely used in the food products due to its versatility as a gelling agent, thickener, and plasticizer (Espitia et al., 2014). The white part of the ...
Keywords: durian peel; cellulose; degradation; peroxymonosulfate 1. Introduction Water scarcity has become one of the greatest challenges of this century due to population growth, climate change, and worsening water pollution. Water pollution sources can be divided into industrial pollution, agricultural...
It can be a natural plant source of non-starch polysaccharide gum with potential functional properties. The main goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of chemical extraction variables (i.e., the decolouring time, soaking temperature and soaking time) on the physicochemical ...
