As an energy source, biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat, or indirectly after converting it to various forms of biofuel. Conversion of biomass to biofuel can be achieved by different methods which are broadly classified into: thermal, chemical, and biochemical methods.rops, such as corn and sugar cane, can be fermented to produce the transportation fuel, ethanol. Biodiesel, another transportation fuel, can be produced from left-over food products like vegetable oils and animal fats. Also, biomass to liquids (BTLs) and cellulosic ethanol are still under research.
Protein-energy wasting (PEW), a term proposed by the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM), refers to the multiple nutritional and catabolic alterations that occur in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associate with morbidity and mortality.
Mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency causes low blood sugar, weakness, cardiac and hepatic problems, wasting of muscles and difficulty in feeding. Proteins are made up of amino acids. 22 amino acids are found to be present in human tissues. Many of the amino acids can be synthesized by our body.n such cases there can be shortcoming in amino acids intake. Protein C deficiency is an inherited debility affecting the production of body's natural anticoagulant. It causes abnormal blood clotting (thrombosis) specially in veins. Protein S deficiency also affects the production of natural anticoagulant.
