LOS ANGELES, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With approximately 50% of Asian people suffering from a condition commonly known as Asian flush, one might think that a natural solution or Asian flush cure would've been developed much earlier. However, until Goldwin Health took the initiative to invest heavily in research and go through 14 months of trials to create their revolutionary supplement called AF Formula, no natural solution was available. "A person who suffers from Asian flush...

DEL MAR, Calif., July 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- iDiverse announced that it has discovered a yeast gene that when inserted into yeast and properly modulated can increase ethanol production yield by up to 34%. "The gene functions by protecting the yeast against some of the lethal stresses encountered in the bioproduction process," said John Serbin, Chief Business Officer at iDiverse. "In its current embodiment, it allows yeast to produce significantly more ethanol under the severe...

Finding renewable and economic sources of energy are one of the most important concerns for the continuation of the human species. New research, published in BioMed Central's open access journal Biotechnology for Biofuels, has produced a novel strain of yeast with improved xylose tolerance and metabolism, and consequently improved ethanol production. Bioethanol is considered one of cleanest renewable replacements for fossil fuel. However using glucose from crops, such as sugar cane or...

TOPEKA, Kansas, July 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new blend of motor vehicle fuel containing 15 percent ethanol - known as E15 - now available in Kansas could damage vehicle engines, the Kansas Petroleum Council warned consumers today.

Scientists are reporting new evidence that a white rot fungus shows promise in the search for a way to use waste corn stalks, cobs and leaves – rather than corn itself – to produce ethanol to extend supplies of gasoline. Their study on using the fungus to break down the tough cellulose and related material in this so-called "corn stover" to free up sugars for ethanol fermentation appears in the ACS' journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research. Yebo Li and colleagues explain...

A new biofuel production process created by Michigan State University researchers produces energy more than 20 times higher than existing methods. The results, published in the current issue of Environmental Science and Technology, showcase a novel way to use microbes to produce biofuel and hydrogen, all while consuming agricultural wastes. Gemma Reguera, MSU microbiologist, has developed bioelectrochemical systems known as microbial electrolysis cells, or MECs, using bacteria to...
