    Sep 26th, 2022

    The Council is chaired by the Director of the Department of Science and Technology, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Science and Technology Council Bui Thi Minh Thuy.

Use this application to create a learning curve for students Master Nguyen Thi Dung, the project leader presents the research direction From this situation, the research topic aims to create high-value products from cashew nut shell waste such as: Applying cashew nut silk in the direction of pharmaceutical and cosmetic technology to improve the value of the tree. cashew, increasing income for cashew farmers and bringing economic efficiency to the locality in the cashew industry. At the meeting, scientists and council members highly appreciated the novelty and feasibility of the topic in practical application. However, it is necessary to develop a specific extraction procedure. In addition, the formula composition of the product must be given when it is completed. Use this application to create a learning curve for students Director of the Department of Science and Technology, Vice Chairman of the Provincial Council of Science and Technology Bui Thi Minh Thuy suggested that the authors survey and assess the current situation of processing cashew nut shell waste in Binh Phuoc province. Speaking at the meeting, the Director of the Department of Science and Technology, Vice Chairman of the Science and Technology Council of the province Bui Thi Minh Thuy suggested the project leader to accept the suggestions of scientists and council members to correct them appropriately; The authors survey and evaluate the reality of the treatment of cashew nut shell waste in Binh Phuoc province to have a research direction that is close to reality and the results after the study are highly effective. After discussion, the council evaluated and voted, with 87/100 points, unanimously choosing the City Biotechnology Center. Ho Chi Minh City is the implementing unit, led by Master Nguyen Thi Dung, Deputy Head of Department, in charge of Biotechnology Department.
