The Amalgamated Sugar Company has been involved for years in the application of ion exclusion chromatography to the enhanced recovery of sucrose from sugarbeet process streams. Laboratory-scale tests of a simulated moving bed chromatography system for sucrose recovery from sugarbeet molasses were initiated in August 1981 and pilot scale tests were begun shortly thereafter. The technology develo...

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) from P.fluorescens was produced using sucrose and sugarcane molasses as the carbon substrates at different concentrations (1-7%), at different incubation time (12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 hr). The extraction was carried out using ethanol precipitation technique. The lyophilized samples were analysed for its total carbohydrates content. The predominant sugar was found to b...

The work aimed at determining the effects of applying different blends between liquid molasses and agricultural limestone on water quality growth performance Nile tilapia juveniles, Oreochromis niloticus. study employed 24 indoor tanks 100 L outdoor 250 L. Four control groups were set up (no product applied, only molasses, limestone, molasses-limestone blend with 48% but no fish) two experiment...

Conductivity-based vacuum pan controllers dominate the Australian sugar industry. A new scheme, based on Brix control of the massecuite and mother molasses is proposed. Multi-loop control of the process is demonstrated, whereby the massecuite Brix is controlled by manipulating the liquor/A molasses feed rate to the pan and the mother molasses Brix is controlled by manipulating the steam flow ra...

Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) has been conducting the development of a Cesium atomic fountain primary frequency standard. Cs atoms are collected in a MOT and in optical molasses. They are further cooled to 2μK by PGC, and launched to a height of 30cm above the microwave cavity by moving molasses method. The launched atoms interact with the microwave twice, going upward and downward, ...

A total of 278 different isolates of filamentous fungi were screened using synthetic medium for respective ability to produce kojic acid. Nineteen, six, and five isolates proved to be low, moderate, and high kojic acid producers, respectively. Levels of kojic acid produced were generally increased when shaking cultivation was used rather than those obtained using static cultivation. A trial for...

Returned dairy products which are transferred to landfills might add to the environmental pollution. Such products have a high nutritional value for ruminants, but they should be stabilized to enable their use as cattle feed. The purpose of the current study was to examine stabilization of returned dairy products by ensiling in combinations with straw and molasses for animal feeding. Treatments...

The compositions of the various organic and inorganic species in cane molasses show wide variations. Centrifugation can be used to remove suspended so!id particles. The bulk of these are precipitated calcium compounds. Removal of calcium by precipitation and subsequent centrifugation can be enhanced by the addition of sulphuric acid. The effects of dilution, temperature, and acid addition on th...

Between June 1999 and August 2000, the effects of feeding medicated urea-molasses supplement blocks on the growth of dairy heifers in a marginal area of central Kenya were assessed by comparing the live-weight gain of supplemented and unsupplemented heifers grazing the same pasture. Thirty-nine heifers with an average age of 9.6 months were initially treated orally with albendazole (10 mg/kg bo...
