Upgrading of Raw Wheat Straw Applying Fungal Treatment

Chemical Treatment of Wheat Straw

Ammonium Hydroxide Treatment of Wheat Straw

Chopped wheat straw, containing increasing amounts of added water was treated with a constant level of ammonia (3.3 percent of straw dry matter) as ammonium hydroxide, and stored for I to 60 days before determing in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVD MD), nitrogen content and fiber-bound nitrogen (ADF-N) versus free ammonia nitrogen (NH3N) of the treated sample. The overall improvement (e.g., ...

Investigating of Difference between Dioxynivalenol Fungal Toxin Pollution Level in Raw Wheat Flour and Bread

Background Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most common mycotoxins found in cereal grains. Objective The purpose of this survey was determination of difference between DON fungal toxin pollution level in raw wheat flour and bread. Methods: In this In the present analytical-cross-sectional study, to determine DON level, 44 subjects were random samplings of wheat, bread and flour (Lavash and ...

The effect of wheat straw bleaching on some mechanical properties of wheat straw/LDPE biocomposites

Using biocomposites containing wheat straw (WS) and synthetic polymers like polyethylene (PE) has gained tremendous popularity, but its application in the packaging industry is not substantial. Due to the prevalence of raw WS color which manifests itself in the WS/LDPE biocomposite, the present investigation is dedicated to fabricate a bleached WS/LDPE composite. Thus, raw WS and the pulp of WS...

Effect of Pretreatment of Raw Material on Properties of Particleboard Panels Made from Wheat Straw

The objective of this study was to evaluate properties of experimental particleboard panels manufactured from wheat straw that had been pretreated with acetic anhydride, soapy solution, hot water, or steam. Wheat straw particles were mixed with commercially manufactured wood particles at a ratio of 60%. Control straw particleboards with non-treated straw and wood particles were also produced. T...
