Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) is considered to be one of the oldest cultivatable crops. The date palm kernels(DPK) considered a waste product of many date processing plants producing pitted dates, date syrup and date confectionery. Direct consumption of dates is also considered as a source of DPK. This study was carried out on DPK to clarify thei

Recent discovery of non-halal products being sold to the public without clear description of its status has prompted Muslims to be more sensitive in choosing these items. Because of this concern, it is crucial to develop methods of detection for non-halal leather. In this study two analytical techniques for determination of pigskin leather were con

A new, rapid, and direct method was developed for the determination of moisture content in biodiesel produced from insects’ oil using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) element. The calibration set was prepared by spiking double distilled water into dried biodiesel samples in ratios (w/w) betwee

Three types of non conventional oils were extracted, analyzed and tested for toxicity. Date palm kernel oil (DPKO), mango kernel oil (MKO) and Ramputan seed oil (RSO). Oil content for tow cultivars of dates Deglect Noor and Moshkan was 9.67% and 7.30%, respectively. The three varieties of mango were found to contain about 10% oil in average. The re

This study is emphasized specifically on the potential of the mango Mangifera Indica seed kernel by discovering the prospective usage of mango seed kernels as a source of antibacterial compounds against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacterial strains. For

Malaysia is targeted to be an industrialized nation by year 2020. In this context, FELDA has been identified as a new industrialized town in order to achieve part of this ambition. The absence of a balanced development would- lead to negative effects which in the longrun might affect the target and the future planning of the nation. Among the main

Meera and Abdul Razak (2005) compared the al-Bay’ Bithaman Ajil (BBA) and the Musharakah Mutanaqisah Partnership (MMP) contracts. The BBA, a murabahah contract, was argued to be problematic and even unIslamic for long-duration contracts. The MMP contract which is a combination of musharakah (partnership) and ijarah (rental) contracts was argued t

This paper investigated the influence of three micro electrodischarge milling process parameters, which were feed rate, capacitance, and voltage. The response variables were average surface roughness (Ra), maximum peak-to-valley roughness height (Ry), tool wear ratio (TWR), and material removal rate (MRR). Statistical models of these output respons

Biotechnology is technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine. United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity defines biotechnology as "Any technological application that uses biological systems, dead organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use.~
