This study was aimed for the investigation of the effect of pretreatment procedure of alkaline, based on the chemical arrangement, surface morphology, structural composition and enzymatic assimilation of sugarcane bagasse for sugars and ethanol production. Alkali pretreatment (0 to 8% w/v of NaOH) assists to reduce the lignin portion (from 19.57±0.03% to 9.91±0.02%) and increase the cellulose content of the treated SB (from 34.66±0.05% to 63.58±0.05%) simultaneously. The optimal conditions for alkali pretreatment were 8% NaOH charge at 100oC for 90 min. Enzymatic digestibility of alkali treated SB was significantly improved and hydrolysis yield reached to 89.59% glucose and 61.23% xylose at an prime level using Trichoderma viridae. Further hydrolysate of 8% (w/v) alkali treated SB sample was fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae to convert sugar into ethanol and yield was 16.81±0.32% in 24 h. Alkali pretreatment was found to be a treatment of choice for cellulose hydrolysis in SB and subsequent sugar acquired for the production of ethanol during fermentation. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.

Using self-made organic composts i.e., rice hull compost (RHC), rice straw compost (RSC), sawdust compost (SDC), and Vermicompost (V) an experiment was conducted to evaluate their responses on mineral nutrition of rice and post-harvest soils under field condition. The total nitrogen contents among the treatments ranged from 9.6 - 21.4, phosphorus: 1.1 – 4.42, potassium: 3.86 - 7.27, sulfur: 11.9 – 19.7, calcium: 3.30 – 11.87 and magnesium: 2.76 – 5.54 g kg-1 at the maturity stage of rice plants which were found to be positively influenced by the applied organic composts. The nutrient status of the post-harvest soils was also influenced by the applied organic composts. The maximum amount of 78.29 mg kg-1 available N was recorded in the T3 treatment, where available nitrogen content increased by 85.65% as compared to the control plot. There were significant (p ≤ 0.05) increases in other nutrient contents with the increased doses of the composts under rice production. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 58(2), 99-106, 2023

Safflower is one of the economically important oil plants. There are some studies on safflower, but none on its seed properties. This study was carried out in the Biosystem Engineering laboratories of the Faculty of Agriculture of Bingöl University in 2021. The seeds of four different proprietary safflower cultivars were randomly sampled, and some of their physical properties were examined under two separate groups, that is, control and film-coated. The film coating material was applied in a single layer, and its effects on the seed size were compared between the study groups. The coating dose should be at a level that will not adversely affect the germination and emergence performance of the seed. As a result of the study, it was found that the safflower seeds were long and oval in shape. This study is important in that its results will help the researchers carry out mechanization and breeding studies on safflower. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 58(2), 129-132, 2023

The present research attempted to observe the temperature and osmotic stress effects on yeast species in cheese. The Candida maltosa yeast was isolated from locally made raw cheese samples, and it was identified by its biochemical properties, followed by using the BIOLOGTM microbial identification system to confirm species level identification. The study investigate about Candida maltosa's ability to grow and develop a budding pattern under high temperatures up to 44°C and osmotic stress for 72 h. Osmotic stress tolerance was studied at 32.5°C in different concentrations of dextrose (0.04 g/l, 0.12 g/l, 0.2 g/l, 0.28 g/l, and 0.36 g/l) and sucrose (0.02 g/l, 0.06 g/l, and 0.36 g/l), respectively. Cell growth of the C. maltosa was measured by optical density at 600nm (OD600) and the enumeration of colony forming units (CFUs) on the agar plates up to 300 m. The obtained result indicated the optimal growth pattern at 32.5°C and complete growth retardation at 44°C with the high concentrations of dextrose (0.36 g/l) and sucrose (0.38 g/l). Particularly, C. maltosa budding could only survive 240 m at 37°C to 40°C and was suppressed at 44°C. The experimental findings demonstrated the stress response in yeast cells in the phenotypic level with the existing acquaintance on the osmotic stress response actions in C. maltosa. Bangladesh J.

This study aimed to identify and evaluate the occurrence and antibiotic susceptibility of E. coli in various dairy products. Physical, biochemical, and molecular tests were used to identify and characterize the E. coli isolates. The study found that E. coli was present in 16% of raw milk, 8% of cheese, 6% of butter, and 10% of ice cream samples. No E. coli O157:H7 or its toxin stx1 was identified in any samples. The antibiotic susceptibility test revealed that the highest susceptibility was to Azithromycin, Gentamycin, and Ciprofloxacin, while the lowest susceptibility was to Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, Tetracycline, and Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Interestingly, 36.84% of E. coli isolates showed multidrug resistance, which is a serious health concern as they may transmit and develop antibiotic resistance in the human body. The study highlights the need for continued surveillance and monitoring of dairy products for food safety and public health purposes. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 58(2), 79-88, 2023

This paper describes the results of a beneficiation study conducted on low-grade fluorite ore. The study was aimed at the development of a suitable beneficiation process to produce chemical grade fluorite concentrate. The representative sample of the ore was up-graded by leaching and flotation process. The important parameters of froth flotation process were optimized to obtain highest grade and recovery of fluorite concentrate. A single-factor variation method was applied to get the optimum conditions of the process. The rougher concentrate was reground to liberate fine locked fluorite particles and two cleaning flotation were employed in close circuit to achieve higher grade concentrate. A process flowsheet was designed in the light of these tests. After optimization of process parameters, the fluorite ore containing 62.24% CaF2 could be upgraded to a concentrate assaying 97.55% CaF2 with an overall recovery of 92.73%. The prepared fluorite concentrate meets the specifications of chemical grade and is suitable for production of fluoride based chemicals. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 58(2), 107-118, 2023

Magnesium oxide has long been intriguing due to several significant phenomena, including wide laser emission, spin electron reflectivity, and defect-induced magnetism. MgO nanostructures have a variety of applications, from spintronics to wastewater treatment, depending on their size and shape. Mg is sensitive material for hydrogen and forms MgH2, so we used Mg/MgO as a sensor to sense hydrogen gas in the present work. Magnesium oxide thin films were synthesized by electrodeposition technique using magnesium nitrate salt. XRD results suggested that the deposited thin films have a face-centered cubic structure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to detect the elemental composition and chemical state with the general electronic structure of the sample. The morphology and growth of deposited nanostructure with elemental mapping of the thin film were investigated by SEM-EDS. The UV-visible analysis shows the calculated band gap for MgO thin filmwas 4.16 eV which is in the ultraviolet region. The I-V characteristics have been studied to find out the effect of hydrogenation on the synthesized MgO nanostructure and the sensitivity responseof about 31%. It is quiteevident that MgO nanostructure may be used for gas sensing applications (such as H2 gas). Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 58(2), 119-128, 2023

In leather processing, retanning is considered one of the most important steps which play a key role in the final leather. The retanning agent improves the required physicomechanical properties of the final leather. In this study, an alternative retanning agent is extracted from the native Swietenia macrophylla (sky fruit). The solvent extracted tannin from the sky fruit was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) speactroscopy. The tannin content of the sky fruit was 8.09%. The leather retanned with tannin extracted from sky fruit was compared with the conventional one. The physicomechanical properties-tensile strength, elongation at break (%), stitch tear strength, and shrinkage temperature fulfilled the requirements. The organoleptic properties of the retanned leather e.g., softness, fullness, grain smoothness, grain break, general appearance, and uniformity were evaluated in comparison with the conventional retanned leather.

The retanning agent improves the required physicomechanical properties of the final leather. In this study, an alternative retanning agent is extracted from the native Swietenia macrophylla (sky fruit). The solvent extracted tannin from the sky fruit was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) speactroscopy. The tannin content of the sky fruit was 8.09%. The leather retanned with tannin extracted from sky fruit was compared with the conventional one. The physicomechanical properties-tensile strength, elongation at break (%), stitch tear strength, and shrinkage temperature fulfilled the requirements. The organoleptic properties of the retanned leather e.g., softness, fullness, grain smoothness, grain break, general appearance, and uniformity were evaluated in comparison with the conventional retanned leather. The extraction of retanning agent from the native sky fruit could be an alternative source of vegetable tannin which is locally and available.\u0000Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind.

This study investigates the antibacterial activities of a variety of extracts from several parts of Cassia sophera L. which include the stem, leaf, flower, and seed from n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol extract. The disc diffusion method, at a concentration of 300 μg/disc, was employed to test the extracts against several pathogenic microorganisms. Some of the extracts were antibacterial against the bacteria tested, with inhibition zones ranging from 7.0 to 25.0 mm in diameter. In comparison to a streptomycin standard sample, the organic extracts showed almost identical activity in a few cases. The ethyl acetate extract of the seed had the highest activity against Sarcina sp. and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with inhibition zones of 25.0 mm and 23.0 mm in diameter, respectively. Methanol extract of the flower was most effective against Bacillus cereus (inhibition zone of 18.0 mm), while chloroform extract of the leaf was most effective against Bacillus cereus (inhibition zone of 18.5 mm). The result of present research is expressing the high potency of various parts of the plant extracts to stop the growth of bacteria and this extract can be further suggested for medical utilization and could be used as natural antimicrobial source.
