the influence of salinity on the different polyamine fractions (free, conjugated, and bound) was compared in a natrophilic halophyte (beta vulgaris l. cv. ic) and a salt sensitive glycophyte (nicotiana rustica l. cv. basmas). low-level salinity (25 mm nacl) and high salinity (150 and 50 mm nacl for sugar beet and tobacco, respectively) were supplied in hydroponics. under low salinity shoot dry ...

THIS PAPER describes recent BSES initiatives to develop laboratory NIR systems for sugar industry applications, in particular, for the analysis of sugar, molasses and other factory products. For the analysis of sugar, previous BSES work to develop online NIR calibrations was available for adaptation to a laboratory or at-line format and was supplemented by a targeted program of analytical work ...

A patient with occupational asthma in the beet sugar processing industry is described. Symptomatology, skin testing, immunologic testing, and specific bronchoprovocation testing indicate exposure to moldy sugar beet pulp was the cause of the patient's occupational asthma. Cooperation between the treating physician and public health authorities is encouraged.

The sugar beet monosomic addition line M14 is a unique germplasm that contains genetic materials from Beta vulgaris L. and Beta corolliflora Zoss, and shows tolerance to salt stress. Our study focuses on exploring the molecular mechanism of the salt tolerance of the sugar beet M14. In order to identify differentially expressed genes in M14 under salt stress, a subtractive cDNA library was gener...

A survey has been carried out on the composition of final molasses from South African sugar factories. Regional and seasonal trends in various parameters have been noted, and the degree of exhaustion of the molasses has been commented upon. Included in the survey are data on the nonsucrose constituents of molasses, and the inorganic ash components. Comparisons are made with a similar survey con...

The production of pullulan from molasses and synthetic medium by Aureobasidium pullulans P56 in batch culture was investigated. Among the pretreatments of molasses used to increase polysaccharide production, sulfuric acid + activated carbon treatment gave better results with regard to polysaccharide concentration, polysaccharide yield and sugar utilization. A maximum polysaccharide concentratio...

background: l-tryptophan is used widespread in the pharmaceutical industry. the majority of l-trp production depends on microbial processes that produce l-tryptophan from indole and l-serine. these processes are very costly due to the costs of precursors, especially l-serine. use of inexpensive substitutions as the l-serine source of l-tryptophan production enables us to reach a cost-effective ...

The current study aimed to evaluate the variation in fermentation activity along the distal canine gastrointestinal tract (GIT, Exp. 1). It also aimed to assess fermentation kinetics and end product profiles of 16 dietary fibers for dog foods using canine fecal inoculum (Exp. 2). For Exp. 1, digesta were collected from the distal ileum, proximal colon, transverse colon, and rectum of 3 adult do...

Powdery mildew of sugar beet, a disease of major economic significance, was first described at the beginning of the 20th century, and since then there has been some confusion over the correct taxonomic identity of the causal agent. In Europe, the fungus was initially classified as the novel species Microsphaera betae, later re-named Erysiphe betae, whilst in America it was identified as E. poly...
