The effect of some natural wastes (orange pomace, orange peel, lemon pomace, lemon peel, apple pomace, pear peel, banana peel, melon peel and hazelnut shell) on the production of xylanase from Trichoderma harzianum 1073 D3 has been studied and maximum activity has been observed on melon peel (26.5 U/mg of protein) followed by apple pomace and hazelnut shell. Also, molasses could be used as an a...

This study characterised pineapple pomace (PP) and evaluated its application in extrusion to enhance fibre content of the final product. The pomace had low fat (0.61%) and high dietary fibre (45.22%), showing its potential for fibre enrichment of nutritionally poor products, as some extruded snacks. Results also showed low microbiological counts, water activity, and pH indicating good microbiol...

This study aimed to investigate the co-composting time effectiveness as well effect of initial Carbon/Nitrogen ratio (C/N)i variation on hygienization olive pomace and turkey manure. Six different heaps, at 3 levels ratios: 20, 22 28, were installed monitored during 6 months assessed three steps: At beginning, end thermophilic-phase curing-phase. The microbial monitoring concerned 5 pathogens c...

Cancer cells demand high ATP provisions to support proliferation, and targeting of energy metabolism is a good strategy to increase their sensitivity to treatments. In Brazil, wine manufacture is expanding, increasing the amount of pomace that is produced. We determined the phenolic composition and antioxidant properties of a dark skin Grape Pomace Extract and its effects on metabolism and redo...

Hard carbon is one of the most promising anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. In this work, new types biomass-derived hard carbons were obtained through pyrolysis different kinds agro-industrial biowaste (corncob, apple pomace, olive mill solid waste, defatted grape seed and dried skin). Furthermore, influence pretreating samples by hydrothermal carbonization acid hydrolysis was also studi...

In this paper, an innovative power plant, constituted by a gas turbine in combined-cycle fuelled by a synthesis gas (or syngas), produced in a local biomass gasifier, is analyzed. The plant is integrated with an external combustion system, fed by cellulosic biomass, connected to a heat exchanger able to increase the air temperature, as in a regenerative cycle. The combustion products pass throu...

Skeletal abnormalities consisting of shortened long bones, enlarged joints and splayed front feet in newborn calves were associated with cows fed apple pomace supplemented with nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) during late gestation. Measurements of x-ray films of the metacarpus and lumber vertebrae from 86 calves in three trials showed that calves from dams fed apple pomace and NPN had longer, thicker...
