Essential oils (EOs) are secondary metabolites of plants with antimicrobial functions that can be used as silage additives, but their effectiveness has been inconsistent. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects EOs additives on nutritional quality, fermentative products, microbial population, and in vitro rumen fermentation. A total 17 articles consisting 113 studies (comparisons) w...

Sugar cane bagasse is produced in Brazil as waste of the sugar and ethanol industries. This lignocellulosic material is a potential source for second-generation ethanol production; however a pretreatment stage is essential, which aims at removing the hemicellulose component by disorganizing the lignocellulosic complex. In this work sugar cane bagasse was pretreated by diluted acid hydrolysis re...

Various pretreatments are employed to increase the utilization of rice straw as a ruminant feed ingredient minimize its negative environmental impact. However, an efficient alternative is still needed. The purpose this study was evaluate ability ammonia and/or white-rot fungi (Pleurotus ostreatus) degrade lignin, nutritional value, and enhance rumen fermentability straw. Rice treated with basid...

BACKGROUND In the sugarcane industry, large amounts of lignocellulosic residues are generated, which includes bagasse, straw, and tops. The use of the whole sugarcane lignocellulosic biomass for the production of second-generation (2G) ethanol can be a potential alternative to contribute to the economic viability of this process. Here, we conducted a systematic comparative study of the use of t...

Wheat of medium hardness with marbled endosperm (transitional form between hard and soft wheat) in which glassy floury zones alternate, almost exclusively available assortment for brewing needs Southeastern Europe. The aim this work is to establish the influence grain texture degree milling on attenuation limit wheat wort obtained from type wheat. worts using hard, transitional, or were produce...

AIMS The overall kinetics of the fermentation of four oat fractions obtained by debranning using three potentially probiotic lactic acid bacteria were investigated. The main objective was to study the suitability of these fractions as fermentation media for the growth and the metabolic production of bacteria isolated from human intestine. METHODS AND RESULTS The cell growth, lactic acid produ...
