The drive for renewable energy as an alternative to fossil fuel is on the increase globally. Modeling a process crucial increasing monitoring and control of plant efficiency ultimate objective optimal biorefinery operations. This study aims develop compare models that best predict fermentation parameters bioethanol production using corn-steep liquor (CSL) media supplement. response surface meth...

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most plentiful of all naturally occurring organic compounds. Conversion cellulosic polymers into useful products by fermentation involves two stages: firstly conversion cellulose to glucose cellulase, and secondly microbial resulting products. The experiments were conducted obtain xylanase enzyme from Aspergillus niger strain AUMC 14230 using corn cob (1%) as main...

Corn stover was pretreated with an excess of calcium hydroxide (0.5 g Ca(OH)2/g raw biomass) in non-oxidative and oxidative conditions at 25, 35, 45, and 55 degrees C. The optimal condition is 55 degrees C for 4 weeks with aeration. Glucan (91.3%) and xylan (51.8%) were converted to glucose and xylose respectively, when the treated corn stover was enzymatically hydrolyzed with 15 FPU/g cellulos...

In this work, grapes were coated with a multifunctional biosurfactant extract obtained from corn steep liquor after liquid–liquid extraction ethyl acetate. This has been demonstrated to not only possess surfactant capacity but also antimicrobial activity. Hence, it could be an excellent preservative for fruits, as is more biodegradable and biocompatible than chemically synthetized preservatives...

This paper applied a simple and cost-benefit method for the production of regenerated bacterial cellulose. The inexpensive production of cellulose with complex media derived from wastewater from food industries such as molasses adds a lot of contaminants to the produced bacterial cellulose, which puts a lot of challenges in cellulose purification. Therefore, the present study aimed...

Two finishing experiments were conducted to determine the effects of concentration (Exp. 1) and composition of wet corn gluten feed (Exp. 2) in steam-flaked corn-based diets on feedlot steer performance. In Exp. 1, 192 English x Continental crossbred steer calves (299 +/- 0.6 kg) were used in a completely randomized design with six dietary treatments (four pens per treatment). Treatments were s...
