Green route biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using methanol extract Oscillatoria sp. was investigated. The (OsSNPs) were characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, FTIR, SEM, Thermogravimetry, EDX and DLS. antibacterial, antibiofilm in vitro cytotoxicity activity the OsSNPs determined. Surface Plasmon Resonance peak at 500 nm. Functional groups such as hydroxyl; alcohol, phosphate, amine among others responsible for capping stabilization proteins nanoparticles. spherical with size...
Agricultural residues are constantly increasing with increased farming processes, and improper disposal is detrimental to the environment. Majority of these waste rich in lignocellulose, which makes them suitable substrate for bacterial fermentation production value-added products. In this study, cellulose (BC), a purer better form cellulose, was produced by two Komagataeibacter sp. isolated from rotten banana kombucha drink using corncob (CC) sugarcane bagasse (SCB) enzymatic hydrolyzate,...
Characterization, antioxidant and immunomodulatory potential of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by wild type mutant Weissella confusa was investigated. The EPS production ranged from 5490.2 to 5580.7 mg/L. Wild (WWCEPS) had the highest production. Eight (8) sugar moieties were present in EPS. Galactose composition (34.6 mg/100 g 33.5 EPS) (MWCEPS). capacity. scavenging assay for increased a dose dependent (0.5-10 mg/mL) manner. 1,1-Diphemy 1-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) capacity, total...
(1) Background: Probiotication is an important method in the food industry, and use of probiotic dairy products has prevented lactose intolerant patients vegetarians from their consumption. Hence, there a need to incorporate probiotics fruit juice without lactose; (2) Method: Probiotic viability, physicochemical sensory evaluation stored probioticated pineapple using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (Pediococcus pentosaceus LaG1, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Pediococcus LBF2) as single mixed...
This study reports the hazard analysis critical control points (HACCP) and microbiological qualities of seafood products as affected by hygiene handlers in Ibadan Lagos, Nigeria. Seafood were purchased at four different processing plants, two each from Lagos. consisted observing the raw materials, water used, utensils used environment, monitoring all steps packaging, recording temperatures during preparation, storage display collecting samples for total viable counts,...
Nanotechnology provides the ability to engineer properties of materials by controlling their size, and this has driven research toward a multitude potential uses for nanomaterials. This study aimed at biosynthesis characterization silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using exopolysaccharides (EPS) lactic acid bacteria (LAB) antimicrobial biosynthesized SNPs against some pathogenic bacteria. EPS production EPS- producing Lactobacillus casei (LPW2E) fermentum (LPF6) submerged fermentation ranged from...
The microflora, proximate analysis and sensory evaluation of Irish Potato (Solanum tuberosum) slices fermented in 2.0% brine solution under micro-aerophilic condition for five days at room temperature were studied. Nutritive qualities the brined- samples analyzed organoleptic parameters accessed through trained panelist. There was an increase microbial load brined-fermented especially within first three fermentation as a result hydrolysis carbohydrate subsequent conversion to sugars minerals...
Optimum culture condition for mycelia and exopolysaccharides production (EPS) byPleurotus ostreatus in submerged liquid was investigated. The optimum temperature yield exopolysaccharide 25 15°C in day 14 with yields of 1.40 g/ml 2700 mg/l respectively. pH found to be 8 respective 2.5 2665 12 EPS mannitol (9.75 g/litre) raffinose stimulated the highest growth (3.0 g/ml) (3000 mg/l) at Mycelia (2.10 (2700 optimally supported by urea. Glycine (1.0 g) leucine (2.5 concentration (2925...
Background. Green route biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Trichoderma viride (T.viride) filtrate (TVFSNPs) can serve as an alternative to antibiotics and effective drug delivery combat cancer act immune-stimulator.Objectives.To biosynthesize (SNPs) with T. green characterize determine the cytotoxic immunomodulatory potential nanoparticles. Material methods.Trichoderma was used for biosynthesizing SNPs.The biosynthesized SNPs were characterized UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier...
