Glycerol is the main compatible solute in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When faced with osmotic stress, for example during semi-solid state bread dough fermentation, yeast cells produce and accumulate glycerol in order to prevent dehydration by balancing the intracellular osmolarity with that of the environment. However, increased glycerol production also results in decreased CO2 production, ...

Rapadura is the commercial name for unrefined dehydrated sugarcane juice. Rapadura is produced in 25 countries, for an estimated total of 13 million tons per year. It is considered a basic food for the School Meals Program (PNAE) in Brazil, which serves 37 million meals to schoolchildren each day. During the production of rapadura, carcinogenic compounds including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbo...

The global consumption of herbs as medicine, nutraceuticals, food additives, cosmaceuticals, etc. is increasing rapidly. One of such area of high commercial potential is nonsaccharide sweeteners. Numerous compounds of plant origin are reported to have different degree of sweetness. In the light of limitations of currently marketed synthetic sweeteners as well as drastic reduction of high-calori...

Sugar has multiple roles in baked products; competing for water and as such reducing starch gelatinisation gluten development, behaving a fluid during cooking, recrystallising on cooling; which influence properties aeration, texture mouthfeel. Partial replacement with inulin, can provide beneficial nutritional functional properties. This paper investigated the degree of polymerisation (DP) two ...

The analysis of the quality indices in sugarcane plays a vital role process refining breeding, cultivation, and production management. present investigation was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Basanthpur-Mamidigi, Medak Dist., Telangana during 2016-2017 to study parameters twelve clones. field experiment with 12 varieties randomized block design replicated thrice. observations made ...

abstract the present research was done to evaluate proline, proteins and sugars of flower buds of pistachio trees during phonological stages. this study was conducted using a split-plot design with three replications considered time as main factor (5 stages) and cultivars (ahmad-aghaee, ouhadi, kaleh-ghochi and akbari) as secondary factor. the experiment was conducted at ferdowsi university of ...

BACKGROUND Bamboo is potentially an interesting feedstock for advanced bioethanol production in China due to its natural abundance, rapid growth, perennial nature and low management requirements. Liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment was selected as a promising technology to enhance sugar release from bamboo lignocellulose whilst keeping economic and environmental costs to a minimum. The present ...

Coastal Bermuda grass (CBG) has been shown to have potential as a biomass feedstock for sugar production. In this study, the effectiveness of ozone pretreatment for CBG to improve the sugar recovery via enzyme hydrolysis was investigated. Raw CBG and autohydrolysistreated CBG were pretreated with ozone at ozone consumption of 1.8 to 26.4 % (w/w) at room temperature. Lignin degradation and hemic...

Lignocellulosic feedstocks for biorefinery are likely to be seasonal and the supply of feedstock cellulosic biorefineries remains a challenge. One way overcome this is by utilizing mixed which facilitates maintenance year-round supply. This study investigated impact mixing three industrially relevant feedstocks—wheat straw, willow Miscanthus using two major performance indicators—sugar yield fe...
