Natural product extraction is ingenuity that permits the mass manufacturing of specific products in a cost-effective manner. With aim obtaining an alternative chitosan supply, carapace dead horseshoe crabs seemed feasible. This sparked investigation structural changes and antioxidant capacity crab (HCH) by γ-irradiation using 60Co source. Chitosan was extracted from (Tachypleus gigas; Müller) heterogeneous chemical N-deacetylation chitin, followed irradiation HCH at dose-dependent rate 10...

This dataset presents morphological features, elemental composition and functional groups of different pre- post-gamma (γ)-irradiated chitosan (10kGy & 20kGy) prepared from shrimp waste. The γ-irradiated was characterized using Fourier transfer infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Thermogravimetry/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) were performed Perkin Elmer Pyris Diamond DSC with a heating rate 10 °C/minute dynamic synthetic atmospheric air set at flow 100...

Abstract Background Eurycoma longifolia ( E. ) , Labisia pumila L. and Orthosiphon stamineus O. are popular species known for their therapeutic properties. An increase in local demand herbal products makes them susceptible to adulteration, which poses a risk safety efficacy. Current identification methods, such as organoleptic, microscopic, macroscopic analysis, need be revised identify plant highly processed due limited ability detect morphological features provide comprehensive taxonomy...

The Setiu Wetlands, a unique area with nine interconnected habitats, comprises considerable fraction of the total Peninsular Malaysia’s wetland flora. Although botanical collecting in has been active past 10 years, only few studies dealing flora have published. Thus, detailed checklist this is urgently needed to ensure continuity its inter-relating and fauna, as well livelihood local people. In work we conducted survey vascular plant Wetlands investigated most important plants used by...

Horseshoe crabs have survived until Holocene, but their persistence beyond the Anthropocene is challenged by drastic environment changes that entail impoverishments and resultant unusual growth sizes.Previously, allometry via morphometric ratio was introduced to classify horseshoe into normal-abnormal growth.However, descriptive size weight analysis indicated a considerable portion of Tachypleus gigas with normal allometry.This error caused median sorting values.Therefore, same data treated...

The Tachypleus tridentatus (Chelicerata: Xiphosura) is an arthropod that usually displays high site fidelity by restricting its distribution to natal vicinities.Briefly, shore perturbation from boating (Kudat), electric, cyanide and bombing (Kunak) tourism (Semporna) in Sabah can impair the T. growth produce sexually mature adults with unusual size.The 8-point morphometry of Kudat (Sulu Sea), Kunak Semporna (Celebes produces final output constituting accurate size classification for...

Summary The rattan genus Korthalsia Blume (Arecaceae: Calamoideae: Calameae) is widespread in the Malesian region. Among 28 accepted species are 10 that form intimate associations with ants. ants inhabit conspicuous ocreas produced by these species, using them as domatia to care for their young and aphids. As a foundation future work, we present here taxonomic treatment of myrmecophilous based on extensive research pursued both herbarium field. In addition, conduct detailed morphological...

Understanding local community attitudes toward wildlife and environment is critical for making context-sensitive conservation planning management decisions while facilitating better human–wildlife coexistence among Indian coastline communities. We conducted questionnaire-based interviews with 388 households from12 different villages in Balasore, Odisha between September 2018 February 2019. A theoretical framework was constructed by categorizing variables to explain par them key factors...

Leaf epidermal characteristics are essential for phylogenetic and taxonomic studies of many plants. Among the family Zingiberaceae, Alpinia is recorded as largest genus. This study aimed to identify leaf micromorphological genus that can be used in species identification supportive data classification also determine value their characteristics. In fact, has been studied less Malaysia requires more supporting identification. Hence, a conducted on eight Alpinia, which assimilis, A. javanica,...
