Microorganisms affecting Post-Harvest Sucrose Losses in Sugarcane
Sucrose losses after cane harvest is one of the most important problems in sugarcane crop particularly for millers and farmers. Loss in sucrose after harvesting causes low sugar recovery in mills. There are a large number of factors associated with low sugar recovery such as varietal type, atmospheric conditions, time lag, etc. Sucrose losses occurring in postharvest sugarcane are generally of ...
متن کاملMicrobial decomposition of post-harvest sugarcane residue.
A laboratory in situ composting study was conducted as a possible alternative method for the current practice of open air burning of post-harvest sugarcane residue by sugarcane farmers. In situ composting of the sugarcane residue by the indigenous bacteria and fungi was accelerated using molasses as an initial substrate. A one-time application of molasses boosted the soil microbial population. ...
متن کاملSucrose Accumulation and Harvest Schedule Recommendations for CP Sugarcane Cultivars
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is harvested during a 5-month period (October to March) in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) of south Florida. The genetic and temporal variability of sugarcane sucrose concentration is well established, but sucrose accumulation curves have not been reported for the Canal Point (CP) clones used in Florida since 1977. The objective of this study was to compare suc...
متن کاملUse of post-harvest sugarcane residue for ethanol production.
Agricultural residues are produced in large quantities throughout the world. Approximately, 1kg of residue is produced for each kilogram of grains harvested. This ratio of grain/residue translates into an excess of 40 billion ton of crop residue produced each year in the USA. These residues are renewable resources that could be used to produce ethanol and many other value added products. In thi...
متن کاملPost - Harvest Food Losses Estimation - Development of Consistent Methodology
Current world population is expected to reach 10.5 billion by 2050 (UN March, 2013), further adding to global food security concerns. This increase translates into 33% more human mouths to feed, with the greatest demand growth in the poor communities of the world. According to Alexandratos and Bruinsma (2012), food supplies would need to increase by 60% (estimated at 2005 food production levels...
