An eco-friendly method for short term preservation of skins/hides using Semecarpus anacardium nut extract

Preservation or curing of hides and skins is performed as the primary step of leather processing. Common salt is employed as the conventional agent for curing purpose. Use of salt enhances the pollution load of tannery effluent which becomes highly contaminated with increased total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and chlorides (Cl). To overcome this hurdle, researchers […]

Enzyme activity and biochemical changes of three date palm cultivars with different softening pattern during ripening

The physicochemical composition changes during palm ripening were studied. The activities of invertase and cell wall-modifying enzymes, namely pectin methylesterase (PME), β-galactosidase (β-Gal), endo-1,4-β-d-glucanase (EGase), and cellulase were monitored during growth and ripening of Shahani, Piaro and Deiry cultivars with different texture. Also we estimated the concentrations of six organic acids by HPLC .Reducing sugars, […]
