bio gas Co-digestion of Biomass for Methane Production: Recent Research Achievements Wei Wu ABSTRACT Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a process by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic digestion can be used to treat various organic wastes and recover bio-energy in the form of biogas‚ which consists mainly of CH4 and CO2. A great option for improving yields of anaerobic digestion of solid wastes is the co-digestion of multiple substrates. Numerous

Bio 6 (Mon. Lab) 5/6/13 The Effects of Pepsin VS. Trypsin in The Digestion of Protein Introduction As food is mechanically and chemically digested through our oral cavity then passes through our pharynx and down our esophagus‚ our food then enters the stomach. The stomach‚ being the main organ for storage‚ also helps with breaking down our food‚ but in order to accomplish that our pancreas helps by excreting an inactive digestive enzyme called pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is the inactive form

Describe how the uses of plant fibres and starch may contribute to sustainability How can plant fibres be used? First of all the plant fibres have to be extracted from the plant itself. The process of extraction often used is called retting. Retting involves using water or micro-organisms to dissolve or rot away the cellular tissues surrounding the bast-fibre bundles. Afterwards the fibres are obtained; usually they extract very long sclerenchyma cells and xylem tissue because of their good

Digestive System Study Guide 1. Define the term digestion and explain its significance. The chemical and mechanical process of breaking down food and its absorption. Its essential to maintaining life. 2. Distinguish between mechanical digestion and chemical digestion. Chemical digestion is where complex food molecules are broken down to the basic building blocks by enzymes. Mechanical digestion is chewing‚ churning and segmentation. 3. Discuss the five digestive processes that overview the many functions

what causes starch to thicken or thin which is relevant to obtaining the desired viscosity for recipes that involve starch cookery without complication. Factors to be considered in the thickening power of cornstarch include the concentration of starch‚ extent of gelatinization thus temperature and duration of heat‚ and the addition of sugar or salt (1). Background Gelatinization‚ a physical change‚ occurs when starch is heated in water. Due to the solubility of the amylose in the starch granule

Since your body rapidly processes sugars‚ they additionally give you a fast wellspring of vitality. There are three sorts of sugars. The three different types of sugars are monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides otherwise called basic sugars‚ is the least difficult starch structure. When all is said

flexibility as the overall motion of groups of atoms ceases. INTRODUCTION It is now accepted that‚ in general terms‚ enzyme activity is dependent on protein dynamics [1-5]: in other words‚ an enzyme must be flexible to function. A number of biophysical studies [6-12] have shown that the flexibility of mesophilic proteins undergoes a transition at about -65 °C. Below this transition temperature the overall motion of groups of atoms within the protein ceases‚ and all that is left is the harmonic vibration
