Beet necrotic yellow vein virus is the etiological agent of one of the most devastating sugar beet viral diseases: rhizomania. This review describes the molecular biology of the rhizomania disease, the functions of the BNYVV encoded proteins, the consequences of their expression as well as the biology of the BNYVV vector, Polymyxa betae. Root proliferation is an important part of the well-known...

The condition of the filtering screens used for separating sugar crystals and molasses in continuous centrifugals has a major influence on sugar losses, separating efficiency and throughput. Several methods, which characterize screen quality in terms of the slot width, uniformity, per cent open area and the resistance to fluid flow have been assessed by Sugar Research Institute. These are a pho...

Results of a collaborative study are reported for the detection of added beet or cane sugar in maple syrup by the site-specific natural isotope fractionation-nuclear magnetic resonance (SNIF-NMR) method. The method is based on the fact that the deuterium content at specific positions of the sugar molecules is different in maple syrup from that in beet or cane sugar. The syrup is diluted with pu...

In this research series, several sugar beet molasses of different osmolalities were inoculated with a mix the following microorganisms, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes, to develop mathematical models correlations effect levels osmolality exposure time viability selected microorganisms. The respective enumerations spp., Enterobacteriaceae, total plate count conducted...

The present experiment aimed at increasing orange peel and sugar beet pulp protein content through solid-state fermentation by Trichoderma reesei and Trichoderma viride. In vitro digestibility and changes in the chemical composition of the fermented products were determined after seven days of fungal cultivation using gas production tests. The cultivation of T. reesei and T. viride on orange pe...

A combination of apple pulp (AP) and sugar beet molasses (M), two biological side streams, has been employed for high yield mannitol production. Apilactobacillus kunkeei is a heterofermentative obligate fructophilic lactic acid bacteria species (FLAB) which evolutively adapted to preferably metabolize fructose than glucose. A. NFICC 2128 strain, naturally isolated from Apis mellifera (honeybee)...
