High‐Yield 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural Synthesis from Crude Sugar Beet Juice in a Biphasic Microreactor

Ethanol fermentation of sugar beet thick juice diluted with crude cheese whey by the flex yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus KD-15

Bioethanol Production from Fermentable Sugar Juice

Bioethanol production from renewable sources to be used in transportation is now an increasing demand worldwide due to continuous depletion of fossil fuels, economic and political crises, and growing concern on environmental safety. Mainly, three types of raw materials, that is, sugar juice, starchy crops, and lignocellulosic materials, are being used for this purpose. This paper will investiga...

Evaluation of the fermentation of high gravity thick sugar beet juice worts for efficient bioethanol production

BACKGROUND Sugar beet and intermediates of sugar beet processing are considered to be very attractive feedstock for ethanol production due to their content of fermentable sugars. In particular, the processing of the intermediates into ethanol is considerably facilitated because it does not require pretreatment or enzymatic treatment in contrast to production from starch raw materials. Moreover,...

Cell wall proteins from sugar beet cells in suspension culture.

Several proteins were extracted from the purified cell walls of suspension-cultured sugar beet cells with 0.5% EDTA (pH 6.8) after prior extraction of the walls with 0.5% deoxycholate and then with 2 molar NaCl. Two abundant proteins (P-I and P-II protein) were separately purified to homogeneity by procedures that included fractionation with ammonium sulfate, column chromatography on DEAE-cellu...

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.).

Creating transgenic plants is invaluable for the genetic analysis of sugar beet and will be increasingly important as sugar beet genomic technologies progress. A protocol for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of sugar beet is described in this chapter. Our protocol is optimized for a sugar beet genotype that performs exceptionally well in tissue culture, including the steps of dedifferentia...
