Proximate analysis
The analysis result of proximate composition of dried laver (P. species) has presented in Table 1. In our study, the crude protein of commercial dried laver was found to be (42.99 ± 0.051g/100g DW) and the moisture content was (9.40 ± 0.056 g/100g DW). The ash content was found (10.30 ± 0.033 g/100g DW). Laver, in this study, contained a very small amount of crude lipids (0.49 ± 0.04 g/100g DW). The total dietary fibre of dried laver was (31.63 ±0.032 g/100g DW). The total and available carbohydrate were (36.82 ± 0.180 and 5.190 ± 0.212g/100g DW) respectively. The gross energy (GE) value of commercial dried laver was found to be (8467.69 ± 51.54 kJ.kg -1) as presented in Table 1.
Amino acid analysis
The amino acid composition of commercial dried laver (P. Species) is presented in Table 2. Except Tryptophan (not determined), all essential amino acids were found in commercial dried laver with different proportions. Seventeen (17) different amino acids were analyzed in the sample, and particularly high in glutamic acids (5527.33 ± 2.08 mg/100g) alanin (4539.33±2.52 mg/100g) and aspartic acid (4213.33 ± 1.53 mg/100g) for total amino acids. However, arginine was higher for free amino acids (41.19 ±0.21) and followed by aspartic acid (19.32 ± 0.020 mg/100g), glutamic acid (11.31 ± 0.08 mg/100g) and alanine (11.12 ± 0.61 mg/100g). Cysteine was recorded as the lowest amino acid value in total amino acid whereas proline and serine were lowest in free amino acids in this study. The total and free amino acid value of essential amino acids were 14412.69 ± 13.68 and 56.06 ± 0.55 respectively. Mineral Content Table 3 shows the mineral composition of the dried laver. Eight elements, potassium (K), calcium(Ca), magnesium(Mg), sodium (Na), Iron (Fe), Zink (Zn), manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu) were analyzed in P. species lavers. The results found for each element was Ca (523.59-526.41 mg/100g), Mg (260.69-262.81 mg/100g), K (1390.76 -1399.24 mg/100g), Na (347.69 -349.81 mg/100g), Fe (11.96 -12.60 mg/100g), Zn (2.69 -2.89 mg/100g), Cu (1.36 -1.40 mg/100g), and Mn (2.22 – 2.30 mg/100g).

The relative peak areas of the different compounds in each category were calculated as a ratio of the total peak area in relation to the peak area of the internal standard. Accordingly, a total of 88 volatile compounds were identified. The identified volatile compounds were classified into different groups of molecules, such as hydrocarbons (Aliphatic hydrocarbons (12), branched hydrocarbons (7), unsaturated hydrocarbons (5) and cyclic hydrocarbons (10)), ketones (16), aldehydes (17), esters (3), ethers (2), alcohols/phenols (13), acids (1) and miscellaneous compounds (2). Unidentified compounds (those not match with the standards) were excluded from this …show more content…
2. In this study, the WHC found (8.06, 8.61, 9.67, 10.65 gram of H2O/gram of sample) and OHC (3.0, 2.92, 3.42 and 3.91 gram of oil/gram of sample) to the respective temperatures of (25 ℃, 40 ℃, 60 ℃ and 80 ℃). The average swelling capacity of dried laver at 25 ℃ was found to be (0.69–0.75 mL/g of sample).
Table 5 showed gelling properties of the dried laver powder in the present study. A lower least gelling capacity suggests a better capacity for the material to gel formation. The least gelling capacity (LGC) of laver powder in this study was found to be (70 mg·ml-1). The presence and position of sulphated ester groups (Fig. 3) can play a role in their gel formation property and affect their ability of collaboration with other factors in composite

    Abstract: The Grignard reaction was successfully accomplished. An amount of 1.20 ml of 2-methyl-2-pentanol was collected, and 9.60% yield was calculated based on the theoretical yield. Despite the low amount of 2-methyl-2-pentanol, its identity was confirmed by comparing the experimental refractive index and infrared spectrum to the literature refractive index and infrared spectrum of 2-methyl-2-pentanol. Statement and purpose The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize a specific alcohol by using the Grignard reaction.…

    After resin impregnation in the TBC, the gel was stretched in the same way as the BC and the mechanical properties of the final composites were investigated to understand the efficacy of the stretching process. It is well-known that porosity should be reduced as much as possible in a composite material since the stress transfer between fiber and resin is negatively influenced by the pores.[24] The porosity in the composites was calculated according to the equation: Porosity=(1-ρ_c/(w_f ρ_f+w_r ρ_r ))×100% , where ρc, ρf, ρr, wf, and wr are the bulk density of composite, density of TBC, density of SPI, weight fraction of TBC, and weight fraction of SPI, respectively.[25] The porosities in both composites were calculated to be in an acceptable range of 2.0-3.5%.…

    Again, the solution was scratched, and 1.3331 g of powdery substance formed. Finally, recrystallization was performed, and resulted in a pale yellow-white powder. This was the final product, and the amount recovered was 1.1093 g. The percent yield for this product was 59.77 %, which was found by dividing the amount recovered by theoretical yield and then multiplying by 100. Errors did occur during this lab which caused a loss of product.…

    The first part of the experiment consisted of the chromatographic analysis of 4 standards each of which contained different compounds. Using the retention time found on the chromatograms (see appendix) the compounds were identified according to their boiling point. In gas chromatography compounds with the lowest boiling point are always the first to elute. The alkane standard was used to construct the Kovats index, it contained pentane, hexane, heptane, octane and nonane. The purpose of building such an index is to estimate the number of carbons of the compounds absent from the blank solutions according to their retention time.…

    Similar to the unique emission spectrum of different chemical elements, different esters release distinct fragrances. They are responsible for many odors such as those found in apples, bananas, strawberries, jasmine, and roses. The saturation of the ester along with its molecular weight determine the strength of the odor emitted. 3 Procedure: First, 1.005 g of 4-aminophenol was placed in a test tube, followed by 3.1 mL of water and 1.25 mL of acetic anhydride. The mixture in the test tube was stirred for five minutes and allowed to cool to room temperature.…

    Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to determine the molar mass and the identity of an unknown volatile liquid. Being volatile means that it has a high vapor pressure, and can thus be easily transformed into gas. This type of liquid usually operates like an ideal gas when transformed into vapor. Thus, we can apply the ideal gas law to calculate the moles of the unknown liquid: PV=nRT P is the pressure of the vapor in atmospheres, V is the volume of the vapor in liters, n is the amount of the vapor in moles, T is the temperature of the vapor in Kelvin, and R is the ideal gas constant.…

    Lignocellulosic-based biomass Unlike starch, lignocellulosic biomass is a plant-based material composed of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. This class of biomass includes wood and fibrous materials from organic sources, agricultural wastes, organic municipal wastes, and organic industrial wastes [18]. Agricultural wastes contribute as the major lignocellulosic resources investigated for biofuel production. Among them are oil palm biomass [19,20], corn stalk [21], rice straw [22], wheat straw [23–25], and sugarcane baggase [26]. Other lignocellulosic biomass such as king grass [27], switch grass [28,29], and phragmites [29] known as dedicated energy crops have been also tested for butanol production.…
