The results showed that, the ripening from I to VI maturity had a significant effected on the mass ratio, the moisture, the chlorophyll, the carotenoids and the TPC in 02 banana varieties peel and following different trends. The mass ratio and the moisture decreased, the chlorophyll and the carotenoids content recorded as opposite trends with degradation of chlorophyll and synthesis of carotenoids occured simultaneously, the most specially, the TPC increased and reached to maximum value at III maturity and decreased after. Results suggest that two banana varieties peel could be effectively used for extraction of polyphenol compounds in the future.","PeriodicalId":34742,"journal":{"name":"Ho Chi Minh City Open University Journal of Science Engineering and Technology","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78354975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in Vietnam, to our knowledge, there are limit study of evaluation of miRNA-140 expression. The commercial kits for the quantitation of miRNA-140 are more expensive. Thus, for the aim to establish the less cost assay for quantitation of miRNAs in developing countries, we designed the set of specific primers to quantify the expression of microRNA for further application on the local population. The sequence of hsa-miR-140-3p was input from miRNA database using the accession number of MI0000456. Following bioinformatics tools, including RNAfold Web Server, BioEdit, IDT Oligo analyzer, were used to design the set of specific primers. As the result, we successfully designed the set of specific primers, including stem-loop primer, named as StL-miR-140-3p, which specific to target sequence of hsa-miR-140-3p, and specific forward primer and reversed primer, named as StL-F-miR-140-3p, and StL-F-miR-140-3p, respectively, which designed for target to the sequence of hsa-miR-140-3p. For further study, it is required to conduct the assay, which based on those designed primers, on the clinical samples to evaluate the specificity, sensitivity, limit of detection, as well as carried on the local population.","PeriodicalId":34742,"journal":{"name":"Ho Chi Minh City Open University Journal of Science Engineering and Technology","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83140308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, extracts of pineapple skin and coconut water were used as a novel fermentation substrate in bioethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Those were used as raw materials contain sugar, which making it a potential medium for bioethanol fermentation. The method used was a milling process to extract sugar into the fermentation medium, so that ethanol can be directly produced from the juice. While coconut water as a mixture during the fermentation process. The fermented bioethanol was then purified by distillation process to obtain pure bioethanol. The the sugar content of the ingredients, the operating condition (pH, time of fermentation) and the addition of nitrogen source were studied. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used as a nitrogen source with variations of 14 and 16g/L with fermentation operating conditions for 40 and 44 hours and pH used were 04 and 05. The sugar content of pineapple skin extracts, coconut water, and the mixture of the two were 4.26; 4.19; and 4.21g/L, respectively. The largest ethanol content produced was 38.42% with 16g/L of nitrogen sources for 44 hours at pH 5. From these results, the mixture of pineapple skin extract and coconut water is proven to be used as a novel fermentation substrate for bioethanol production.","PeriodicalId":34742,"journal":{"name":"Ho Chi Minh City Open University Journal of Science Engineering and Technology","volume":"115 11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90231418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
