Abstract: Background: Probiotics are live microbial food constituents that affect the microflora and provide health benefits to the host when consumed in sufficient quantities. Laphet (Myanmar's traditional fermented tea leaves) is one of the most consumed daily snack throughtout Myanmar and contains Latic Acid Bacteria (LAB) which play an important role in probiotics. The aim of this study was to use the catalase assay and the type of fermentation to assess the features and biochemical properties of LAB. Materials and Methods: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were identified using particular media, especially MRS Agar, and the antimicrobial activity was tested using test bacteria Escherichia coli O157, Staphylococcus aureus. Results: The study's findings were as follows: The result of the catalase......

Abstract: As food and medicinal ingredient, Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) (belonged to the Cucurbitaceae family), has long been used in several Asian countries. To assess and evaluate the phytochemicals analysis and pharmacological activities of methanolic extract of dried leaves of Momordica charantia, the present study has been conducted, in where we have been used Folin-Ciocalteu's colorimetric assay, aluminium chloride colorimetric assay, Ferrous-ferrozine complex inhibition assay, and agar disc diffusion method. The maximal phenolic contents got was 20.22±0.27 mg of GAE/g of dry extract and the total flavonoid contents got was 38.78±0.74 mg of CE/g of dry......

Abstract: Lignocellulose is a renewable resource or organic matter. It consists of three types of polymers viz., cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin that are strongly intermeshed and chemically bonded by non-covalent forces and by covalent cross-linkage. Many fungi are capable of degrading cellulose and hemicelluloses and utilize as chief carbon and energy sources. However, some filamentous fungi have evolved with their ability to degrade lignin. These are known as white-rot fungi, which possess the unique ability to degrade lignin into CO2. The Lignocellulosic material is composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectin and lignin. Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of linear glucan chains that are linked together by β-1, 4-glycosidic linkages with cellobiose residues as the repeating units......

Abstract: Sugarcane Bagasse is fibrous structure obtained by crushing the sugarcane stem and extracting juice. It is used in the production of enzymes, amino acids, drugs, ethanol and single cell protein. Sugarcane Bagasse is considered as a pure waste material which can be used to extract cellulose and nanocellulose particles. Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide consisting of β-D-glucose chains joined together by β-1, 4-glycosidic linkages with cellobiose residues as the repeating unit at different degree of polymerization. In the present investigation......
