Comparative Study on the Growth and Yield of Ganoderma lucidium Mushroom Cultivated on African Peach (Nauclea diderrichii) and Bush Mango (Endospermum medullosum) Sawdust as Substrates
Abstract: This study was conducted to find out which substrate provides for the best artificial development of G. lucidium. Mango (Mangifera indica) leaves were added to the saw dusts of Nauclea diderrichii and Endospermum medullosum, which were both utilized as substrates for growing. The substrates were inoculated with Ganoderma spawn and then exposed and hydrated to start the fruiting process. Three replications of the process were carried out. It was observed …

Enhancement of Gas Sensitivity of Composites of Carbon Derived from Rubber Tree and SnO2 to Detect Ethanol Vapor at Room Temperature
Abstract: Films of composites of activated carbon powder prepared from saw dust derived from core of rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis) and tin oxide (SnO2) were fabricated using the doctor blade method. Carbon powder was activated using phosphoric acid at 500°C for 45 minutes. The weight ratio carbon/SnO2 varied from 0 to 12% in steps of 2. The structural, optical and morphological properties of films were investigated using XRD patterns, UV-visible spectrums …

Critical Overview: Preparation of Bioplastics Using Different Reinforcement Fillers
Abstract: The widespread use of synthetic plastics poses a significant threat to the environment due to their nonbiodegradable nature and reliance on nonrenewable petrochemical sources. Among these, single-use plastics are of particular concern as they are difficult to recycle efficiently. To mitigate this issue, bioplastics offer a promising alternative, as they are derived from renewable sources and are biodegradable. Bioplastics are produced using natural materials, such as plant, animal, and microbial …
