Effect of pH on cadmium biosorption by coconut copra meal

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2007
Biosorption of cadmium ion by coconut copra meal, an agricultural waste product was investigated as a function of initial solution pH and initial cadmium concentration. Pseudo-second-order kinetic analyses were performed to determine the rate constant of biosorption, the equilibrium capacity, and initial biosorption rate.

Characterisation of polysaccharides of copra meal

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1983
AbstractTo investigate the polysaccharide composition of copra meal, defatted meal was treated successively by hot water extraction, delignification with sodium chlorite and protein elimination with protease. The deproteinised holocellulose obtained was treated by extraction with 16% NaOH to give an alkaline extract and an alkali insoluble fraction ...

Generation of Mannitol from Copra Meal

Journal of Food Science, 1985
Saccharification of copra meal with hydrochloric acid was found to be suitable method for forming reducing sugars. The presence of protein and lignin in the meal did not have a significant effect on the yield of reducing sugars. Borohydride reduction of the reducing sugars gave sugar alcohols in 44% yield based on the raw material or 81% based on ...

Feeding value of copra meal for broilers

World's Poultry Science Journal, 2009
The production of copra meal in some parts of the world is abundant and cheap and hence its inclusion in poultry diets would benefit the poultry industry. Its use as a feeding material would also be beneficial for the coconut industry and the environment, through the reduction of copra waste.

Fresh and stored copra meal in meat quail diets

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2018
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the addition of fresh and stored copra meal to the diet of meat quails. Two hundred eighty-seven-day-old male and female quails were distributed in a completely randomized design, with five treatments, in a 2 × 2 + 1factorial arrangement.

Utilization of palm kernel meal and copra meal by poultry

2023
Palm kernel meal (PKM) and copra meal (CM) are derived from the nuts of palm trees and are available in large quantities in many tropical countries. These potential feedstuffs are not widely used either for animal production or other purposes. Due to their high fibre contents, imbalanced amino acids, Maillard products (due to heat damage during drying ...

Comparison of three methods for the determination of aflatoxin in copra meal

Food Additives and Contaminants, 1995
A comparison of the methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), the American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS), and the European Community (EC) was carried out on a batch of randomly collected copra meal (CM) samples from a selected copra miller. Only aflatoxin (AF) B1 was found in the CM sample analysed.

Biosorption thermodynamics of cadmium on coconut copra meal as biosorbent

Biochemical Engineering Journal, 2006
Abstract Coconut copra meal, a waste product of coconut oil production was investigated for its potential use as a biosorbent for cadmium ions from an aqueous solution. A comparison of linear least-squares method and a trial and error non-linear method of three widely used isotherms, Langmuir, Freundlich, and Redlich–Peterson, were examined. Langmuir

Kinetic biosorption study of cadmium onto coconut copra meal as biosorbent

International Journal of Environment and Pollution, 2008
The sorption of cadmium ions on an agricultural by-product, coconut copra meal, was investigated. A batch sorption model, based on the assumption of the pseudo-second-order mechanism, was applied to predict the rate constant of sorption, the equilibrium sorption capacity and the initial sorption rate with the effect of initial cadmium concentration and
