Abstract:

The operating speed of rotary maize sheller was optimised for its operation at higher operating speeds in pedalling mode, by conducting a simulation study for three sizes of maize cobs at seven operating speeds. The shelling capacity and shelling efficiency of maize sheller for all categories of maize cobs increased curvilinearly with increase in operating speed up to about 70 rpm. The shelling capacity at a particular operating speed decreased with increase in the maximum diameter of cobs. Operating torque of rotary maize sheller for a given size of maize cobs decreased with increase in opera

A Sodium Hydroxide spray treatment of ground maize cobs was evaluated in a feeding trial with West African Dwarf rams. NaOH solution of 6% concentration was sprayed on ground maize cobs at the rate of 50 litres per 100 kg, representing a 3% NaOH treatment level. The treated maize cobs were air dried before being incorporated into the experimental diets. The apparent digestibility coefficients for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude fibre (CF) and gross energy (GE) were significantly higher in the diet containing NaOH — treated maize cobs (diet B) than the diet containing the untreated m

Abstract:

The growing concerns about global warming and depleting petroleum reserves have made scientists/researchers focus more on the use of natural fibres such as Maize cob, bagasse, coir, sisal among others. About 180 kg of cobs are obtained from each ton of maize shelled which has little utilization or no utilization. This study utilizes maize cob from SAMMAZ-14 maize variety for the extraction of nano cellulose using Chemico-mechanical method. Alkaline hydrolysis was performed with 5% NaOH for 4hrs with MLR of 1:10. Ball milling was done for 5 hrs with BMR of 30:1. The extracted nanocellulose were

Corn is one of the important plants for human life, especially in Indonesia. This is because corn is the second food crop commodity after rice. In Indonesia, there are still many post-harvest maize product processing using the traditional method by peeling corn by hand, so that the yield of corn production is not comparable with the labor for processing the corn harvest. Agricultural statistics show that maize production in Indonesia has always increased from year to year. In order to better support the conversion process of corn cobs waste into animal feed, a chopper is needed. The machine fu

Moisture ratios (MR) were calculated from moisture loss data and fitted to six (Newton’s, Page, Thompson, Modified Page, Henderson and Pabis, and Wang and Singh) drying mathematical models. Coefficient of determination (R2) and root mean square error (RMSE) were used for comparison of the models. From the analyses, Modified Page model showed the best fit to the experimental data with R2 vary

Maize is one of the major cereal crops. Different high yielding as well as hybrid varieties have been growing for higher maize production. Various fertilizers have also been used to increase the maize yield. But yield target is not achievable always and the fertilizers had detrimental effects on soil properties also. For sustainable maize production, we conducted a combined study of reciprocal cross and application of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). In this study, we examine the traits of seeds and cobs resulting from reciprocal crossings between Purple Waxy Corn (PWC) and Sweet C
