“…In addition, the figure 2 above reveals that rainfall in Peninsular Malaysia from 2020 to 2035 is predicted to show an increasingly irregular pattern. This is in conformity with previous studies [37,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52]. The study area experienced a sharp decrease in annual average temperatures from 1991 to 1997.…”

The effect of some weather parameters (rainfall and temperature) on the production of oil palm in Peninsular Malaysia was investigated. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 20.0 version), with descriptive statistics, time series analysis, and multiple linear regression (MLR) carried out. SPSS and Microsoft Excel 2010 were used to analyse the results. The MLR model determined the strength of the relationship between oil palm yield (dependent variable) and the changing variables of temperature and rainfall (independent variables). The regression output returned three components; regression coefficients, regression statistics and ANOVA. The findings of the study revealed medium to high rainfall variability at the rate of 0.0008. This implies that rainfall is increasing over time with variations in its amount and intensity. As rainfall increases oil palm FFB production is predicted to increase at a slow rate of 0.0009. The estimation of average annual temperature indicated an increase of 5.6℃ at the rate of 0.0357℃ per year with a temperature maximum of 32.01℃ and minimum of 25.45℃. The result also revealed an increase in oil palm yield at the rate of 0.2581 per year with a mean value of 176247.6. Overall, there is a significant difference in the impact of rainfall and temperature on oil palm yield. This signifies that rainfall has a significant impact on oil palm yield (FFB) compared to temperature.

“…The two main residues from agricultural activities are cane tops and dry leaves which are generated from cane cultivation while filter mud, bagasse and ash generated from the juice clarification process, cane squeezing and burning of bagasse, respectively, are the main residues of the industrial stage in the sugarcane industry [23]. In Malaysia, the palm oil industry alone is estimated to generate 80 million tons of solid biomass composed of oil palm empty fruit bunch, frond, mesocarp fiber and trunk and 60 million tons of palm oil mill effluent (POME) per annum [24]. It is also estimated that from the sugarcane industry, an average of 30 kg of filter cake will be generated from a ton of ground sugarcane [25].…”

Composting is an important technology used to treat and convert organic waste into value-added products. Recently, several studies have been done to investigate the effects of microbial supplementation on the composting of agro-industrial waste. According to these studies, microbial inoculation is considered to be one of the suitable methods for enhancing the biotransformation of organic materials during the composting process. This review provides up-to-date research findings on microbial inoculation strategies and their role and functions in enhancing the composting process and the improvement of compost quality. Based on this review, the addition of microorganisms could enhance the composting process such as accelerating the organic matter degradation, mineralization and microbial enzymes activities, and the quality of the end-products such as high germination index. It is important to notice in this strategy that sludge’s microbial consortium is feasible to enhance the composting process in pilot-scale and industrial-scale productions. Besides, it also reduces the cost of compost production. The findings of this review show the various positive impact of microbial inoculation on agro-industrial waste composting which in turn might be useful as a reference for selecting a suitable inoculum based on the type of waste materials.

“…[8] Renewable feedstocks, especially, materials or valueadded products derived from biomass were considered as a better alternative for petroleum feedstock owing to their innate features such as excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and bioresorbable property. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In particular, the United States Department of Energy revealed the top value-added chemical derived from biomass, [18] which include various diacids, hydroxy acids, glycerol, carbohydrates, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, 3-hydroxybutryolactone, to mention a few. [9,10,[19][20][21][22] In our latest review, we have emphasized the use of natural monomer for the fabrication of functional and sustainable materials.…”

Supramolecular gels of gluconamides derived from renewable resources: Antibacterial and anti‐biofilm applications

et al. 2020

Carbohydrates are versatile materials widely used for several applications including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and drug delivery systems due to their inherent properties such as non-toxicity, biodegradability, and bio-compatibility. Specifically, the urge on carbohydrate research is due to its significance in the biological system, for example, a glycoprotein found in the extracellular matrix, involved in signaling pathways, cell-cell interaction and cell-matrix interaction. Because of the increase in demand of glycolipids for biological applications, in this report, a set of three structurally related gluconamide-based amphiphiles were synthesized from renewable resources, δ-gluconolactone and cashew nut shell liquid. The molecular structure of the synthesized glycolipids was characterized by NMR and mass spectral techniques. Molecular self-assembly of gluconamide-based amphiphiles was investigated relative to the molecular structure and nature of the solvent used. Interestingly, the nature of the hydrophobic tail present in the glycolipids influences the self-assembly pattern, which results in a hydrogel, organogel and highly insoluble nanorods. Gelation studies clearly revealed that the involvement of different magnitude of non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking and van der Waals interaction. Morphology of self-assembled architecture was investigated by optical microscopy, FESEM and FETEM analysis. The mechanism involved in the molecular self-assembly has been deduced by small angle XRD analysis. Thermo reversibility and the thixotropic nature of the derived gels were identified by rheological measurements. Further, antimicrobial and biofilm inhibitory activity of gluconamide-based amphiphiles were studied against various pathogenic bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
