Single‐Screw Extrusion of Copra Meal and Distillers Dried Grains With Solubles at Varying Screw Speed and Moisture Content for Aquaculture Feed Applications

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Copra meal is a byproduct of the coconut oil extraction process and provides an inexpensive source of energy for livestock diets. Single‐screw extrusion was conducted to investigate the effects of varying proportions of copra meal and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and the corresponding processing ...

Identification of an intermediate for 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-melanin synthesis in a race-2 isolate of Fulvia fulva (syn. Cladosporium fulvum)

Heliyon, 2018
Fulvia fulva (syn. Cladosporium fulvum, Mycosphaerellaceae) is a dematiaceous fungus that causes tomato leaf mould. It is characterized by its biotrophic lifestyle and the synthesis of the bianthraquinone secondary metabolite, cladofulvin. The aim of the

Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

Ecography, EarlyView.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.

Purification of crude cellulase obtained from Aspergillus foetidus and its immobilization in agar xerogel: A comparative study with commercial cellulase immobilized in similar support

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Agar xerogel was used to immobilize cellulase. Properties of partially purified cellulase from Aspergillus foetidus and commercial cellulase were compared after immobilization. Abstract This research study is a comparative study of the characteristics of partially purified cellulase produced from Aspergillus foetidus through solid‐state fermentation ...
