Moringa Oleifera Seed

The present study deals with the appropriateness of the coagulation process using natural coagulant Moringa oleifera seed. Natural coagulants are useful for the treatment of wastewater because of its sustainability, cost-effectiveness, non-toxicity and lesser quantity of sludge formation. M. oleifera seed having a chemical composition of polypeptides having 6 amino acids like arginine acid, methionine acid, glutamic acid, phenylalanine, threonine, and histidine. M. oleifera is also known as a cationic polyelectrolyte and having molecular weight 6,000 to16,000 Dalton. The main objective of research work is the application of the M. oleifera seed as a natural adsorbent to treat synthetic dairy wastewater. The effects of pH, agitation time, the dose of sorbent and efficacy of M. oleifera seeds kernel for turbidity removal was assessed. M. oleifera seed eliminates turbidity 95 % and colour 94 % using 0.22 gm pod powder, and 0.2 L of 1.0 g/L synthetic dairy wastewater. Naturally dried M. oleifera seeds remove turbidity 95 %, sundried seeds remove turbidity 52 % and oven-dried seeds 45 %. As naturally dried M. oleifera pod having more surface area for adsorption and inter-particulate bridging which extract the extra active ingredients.  pH range between 5 and 8 is more suitable to degrade the turbidity and colour. It is concluded that in the presence of an aqueous soluble cationic coagulant protein has great potential to remove the turbidity and colour of wastewater. HIGHLIGHTS oleifera seed having a chemical composition of polypeptides having 6 amino acids like arginine acid, methionine acid, glutamic acid, phenylalanine, threonine, and histidine oleifera seeds consist of crude fiber, lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose. It also contains amino functional groups (R-NH3), carboxyl group (C=O), and fiber carbonaceous. The functional group present in M. oleifera seeds is dissociated during the adsorption process at various pH oleifera has good property of coagulation-flocculation (C-F) The effectiveness of naturally dried seed kernel is more effective than other seed kernels GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition of roe deer meat considering the animals’ sex and age and to estimate the content of amino acids in the meat from two selected groups of the animals, i.e. 2-3-year-old males and females. A further goal was to assess the biological value of proteins as compared to the FAO standard. The study has revealed that in proteins from the roe deer muscle tissue the content of exogenous amino acids (in g/100g) is higher by 20-30% on average comparing to the level of amino acids, in the FAO/WHO (1973) standard protein. Among the endogenous amino acids, the highest (in g/100 g of protein) and the lowest concentrations were found for glutamic acid and proline, respectively. The research has also shown that roe deer meat possesses a high content of protein and a relatively low content of fat.

Moringa Oleifera Seed

Present research work was conducted to evaluate the effect of phytase supplementation on nutrient digestibility, growth performance and hematological indices of Catla catla (Hamilton, 1822) fingerlings fed Moringa oleifera seed meal (MOSM) based diet. Existence of phytate in plant byproducts decreases the bioavailability of nutrients to fish, resulting in low nutrients availability, poor fish growth and hematological indices in fish body. Moringa byproducts such as M. oleifera seed meal (MOSM) was used as test ingredient to formulate experimental diet. Experimental diet was divided into six test diets and were supplemented with graded levels (0, 300, 600, 900, 1200 and 1500 FTU kg-1) of phytase. The fingerlings were fed at the rate of 4% of live wet weight twice a day in V-shaped indoor tanks. Phytase supplementation showed significant (p<0.05) improvement in bioavailability of nutrients, growth indices and hematological parameters. Results showed that maximum growth performance, digestibility of nutrients and improved hematological values of C. catla fingerlings were noted at 900 FTU kg-1 level of phytase supplementation in MOSM based test diet. It was concluded that phytase supplementation at 900 FTU kg-1 level was helpful to develop an eco friendly and cost effective fish feed incorparating moringa seed meal.

In this paper, the chemical composition of Telfairia pedata seeds and oil is discussed. This crop belongs to the family of Cucurbitaceae. Unroasted seeds and oil obtained from roasted seeds were collected during a study trip in Tanzania. Oil from unroasted seeds was extracted in the lab using hexane. The seeds contain approximately 60 (% m/m) of oil and 30 (% m/m) of protein, being the remaining amount represented by crude fiber, carbohydrates and mineral constituents. The protein fraction contains glutamic acid, arginine, aspartic acid and leucine as the most representative amino acids. The fatty acid composition is a common one, being palmitic, linoleic, stearic and oleic acids, the most important fatty acids detected. No difference was found in fatty acid composition between oils extracted from roasted and unroasted seeds. On the contrary, the oil obtained from roasted seeds shows a higher concentration in sterols and tocopherols while the distribution between the different constituents remains the same.

Moringa Oleifera Seed

The main focus of this research work is to investigate the possibility of applying Moringa oleifera seed extract for the removal of heavy metals from tannery wastewater. Samples were collected from effluent discharge points of the GB tannery, Muhaza tannery and Z-tannery which are located in Challawa Industrial Area, Kano, Nigeria. The samples analyzed for physico-chemical parameters are pH, temperature, hardness, conductivity, turbidity, alkalinity, total suspended solid, total dissolved solid, calcium, magnesium, chloride, nitrates, sulphates and sulphide and heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium, copper, cobbalt, iron, lead, manganese and zinc. The results show that the final levels of heavy metals after the application of Moringa Oliefera seed extracts were within NESREA acceptable limits. The heavy metal removal efficiencies were as follows; 99.29% for cadmium, chromium and iron while 96.03%, 95.56%, 96.84%, 87.41%, 91.35% for copper, cobalt, lead, manganese and zinc, respectively. The cheap, easy and environmentally friendly material called Moringa oleifera could be recommended to tannery companies for effective removal of heavy metals so as to have a safe, non-polluting environment and also prevent endangering the lives of aquatic organisms andHUMANS Keywords: Moringa Oleifera, tannery, wastewater, heavy metal, wastewater

Abstract. Agussalim, Umami N, Nurliyani, Agus A. 2021. The physicochemical composition of honey from Indonesian stingless bee (Tetragonula laeviceps). Biodiversitas 22: 3257-3263. The demand of honey has recently increased significantly, but this situation is widely used by irresponsible humans who made a fake honey. This present study aims to evaluate the quality based on the physicochemical composition of honey from Indonesian stingless bee Tetragonula laeviceps. Honey was obtained from three geographical origins in Indonesia, i.e. Sleman, Gunungkidul, and Lombok. The physicochemical composition of honey was analyzed such as moisture, ash, protein, pH, glucose/moisture ratio, and electrical conductivity, and amino acids. The results showed that the geographical origins had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on moisture, pH, and significant effect (P<0.05) on ash, electrical conductivity, protein, and glucose/moisture ratio. Honey from Indonesian stingless bee T. laeviceps was found 17 amino acids were arginine, histidine, lysine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, valine, threonine, tyrosine, proline, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, serine, alanine, glycine, and cysteine. The dominant amino acids of honey from Sleman were glutamic acid, histidine, lysine, and arginine. Honey from Lombok were glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and histidine. Furthermore, honey from Gunungkidul were lysine, arginine, histidine, and phenylalanine. Honey from Sleman and Lombok have the best quality than honey from Gunungkidul based on the chemical composition and amino acids profile.
