Investigation of the Strength Properties of Palm Kernel Shell Ash Concrete

Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research, 2012
Many researchers have studied the use of agro-waste ashes as constituents in concrete. These agro-waste ashes are siliceous or aluminosiliceous materials that, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, chemically react with the calcium hydroxide released by the hydration of Portland cement to form calcium silicate hydrate and other ...

Separation of oil palm kernel and shell mixture using soil and palm ash slurries

Nigerian Journal of Technology, 2017
This study investigated the possibility of separating oil palm kernel and shell mixture using media other than clay in wet separation. The separation efficiency of each medium ["Ikwube" (anthill), palm ash and sandy loam soil] was compared with that of clay.

Incorporation of Palm Kernel Shell into Fired Clay Brick [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Palm oil processing has produce agricultural waste and one of the wastes is palm kernel shell (PKS) which is abundance and creating disposal problems in landfill. Recently, many researchers investigate the incorporation of palm oil waste such as palm fiber, palm oil fuel ash and empty fruit bunch which could have potential as a second raw material in ...

Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Disclosing the production of fungal chitinases and proteases using insect by‐products as substrates in solid‐state fermentation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...
