Decolorizing activity and sugar assimilation of basidiomycetes for polyvinylpolypyrrolidone-treated molasses. Decolorization of cane sugar molasses by action of basidiomycetes. Part II.

Effect of Storage Temperature and Light on the Freeze-Dried Amino Acids from Sugar Beet and Sugar Cane Molasses

Molasses is a significant by-product of sugar beet or sugar cane refining industry. In this work, the effects of storage temperature and packaging on the contents of free amino acids (AAs) in sugar beet and sugar cane molasses after freeze drying were inquired. The effect of different variables such as, temperature (4 and 25˚C) and light (Metallized polypropylene container and Normal polypropyl...

Sugar cane and sugar beet molasses, antioxidant-rich alternatives to refined sugar.

Molasses, the main byproduct of sugar production, is a well-known source of antioxidants. In this study sugar cane molasses (SCM) and sugar beet molasses (SBM) were investigated for their phenolic profile and in vitro antioxidant capacity and for their protective effect in human HepG2 cells submitted to oxidative stress. According to its higher phenolic concentration and antioxidant capacity in...

Wood Sugar Molasses for Dairy Cattle

Comparative feeding value of wood sugar concentrate and cane molasses for feedlot cattle.

Two feedlot cattle growth performance trials and a metabolism trial were conducted to evaluate the feeding value of cane molasses (CM) compared with wood sugar concentrate (WSC). The CM contained (as-fed basis) 73% DM, 8.6% ash, 48% total sugars, and 79.5 degrees Brix. The WSC contained (as-fed basis) 61% DM, 12.2% ash, 38.9% total sugars, and 29% lignosulfonate. When supplemented at 4% of diet...

Separation of Sugar from Molasses by Ultrafiltration and Nanofiltration

Molasses, the main material of this project was diluted and processed, according to the type of the used ultra and nano membranes (UF10kDa, UF5kDa, N30F). Permeate flux was determined at different times for membranes and steady time was registered. By changing transmembrane pressure, permeate flux, which is dependent on the pressure, was registered. Final permeate flux was registered in each tr...
