As consumption of stingless bee honey has been gaining popularity in many countries including Malaysia, ability to identify accurately its geographical origin proves pertinent for investigating fraudulent activities consumer protection. Because a chemical signature can be location-specific, multi-element distribution patterns may prove useful provenancing such product. Using the inductively coupled-plasma optical emission spectrometer as well principal component analysis (PCA) and linear...

The escalating trend of murder victim concealment worldwide appears worrying, and literature does not reveal any specific study focusing on amongst convicted male Malaysian murderers. Therefore, this was aimed at investigating the psychological traits that may underlie act in Malaysia via mixed method approaches. Male murderers (n = 71) from 11 prisons were selected purposive sampling technique. In quantitative analysis, a cross-sectional design using validated questionnaire used. contained...

Terpene esters of short-chain fatty acids are essential oils that have big importance in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as flavours fragrances. Geraniol citronellol the most important substances. Considering ever-increasing demand for such products, their enzymatic production from natural raw materials by using environmentally friendly economically attractive processes may prove advantageous. In this contribution, we would like to present an alternative option geranyl...

The chemical route of producing geranyl propionate involves the use toxic chemicals, liberation unwanted by-products as well problematic separation process. In view such problems, Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML) covalently bound onto activated chitosan–graphene oxide (RML-CS/GO) support is suggested. Following analyses using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission and thermogravimetry, properties RML-CS/GO were characterized. A...

This work was aimed at providing a comprehensive physicochemical characterization of the Malaysian oil palm leaves (OPL) that may be useful for industrial applications as well new insights on minimizing environmental impact biomass wastes. The discarded fronds were collected, dried and ground. powder subjected to acid thermal treatments prior analyses. Physicochemical included analyses gravimetry, ultimate analysis, Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, diffraction...

Esters, such as methyl oleate, are functionally important compounds in many industrial sectors, mainly components for manufacturing of emulsifiers, detergents, intermediate stabilizers and wetting agents. Acid functionalization multi-walled carbon nanotubes (F-MWCNTs) by using a mixture HNO3 H2SO4 (1:3, v:v) was employed the matrix adsorption Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) nanobioconjugates (CRL-MWCNTs) production oleate. Structural information developed CRL-MWCNTs confirmed Fourier Transform...

Interests in Acinetobacter haemolyticus lipases are showing an increasing trend concomitant with growth of the enzyme industry and widening search for novel enzymes applications. Here, we present a structural model that reveals key catalytic residues lipase KV1 from A. haemolyticus. Homology modeling structure was based on carboxylesterase archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus as template, which has sequence is 58% identical to KV1. The comprised single compact domain consisting seven parallel one...
