Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Tiong Xin Teh"
- Tiong Xin Teh's research primarily focuses on innovative methods for protein extraction from microalgae, specifically using techniques like liquid biphasic flotation (LBF) combined with ultrasonication to enhance cell disruption.
- In his 2017 publication, Teh investigated the extraction of protein from the wet microalgae species Chlorella sorokiniana, optimizing various parameters such as feedstock concentration, flotation time, and the types and concentrations of salts and alcohols.
- The study concluded that an optimal recovery of proteins could be achieved under specific conditions, notably using 250g/L ammonium sulphate and 60% (v/v) 2-propanol, highlighting the efficiency of the proposed LBF technique for biotechnological applications.
