The present investigation deals with the kinetics of submerged citric acid fermentation by Aspergillus niger using blackstrap molasses as the basal fermentation media. A laboratory scale stirred fermentor of 15-L capacity having working volume of 9-L was used for cultivation process and nutritional analysis. Among the 10 stock cultures of Aspergillus niger, the strain GCBT7 was found to enhance...

E10 is a blend of 10% bioethanol and 90% gasoline that can be used in the engines most cars without causing damage. Currently for blend, Jamaica imports from Trinidad & Tobago Brazil because production at an early stage. However, country has great potential production. In order to assess environmental economic feasibility Jamaica, this paper presents life cycle assessment case study two differe...

Molasses formation from beet sugar liquors has had the attention of technologists for more than 100 years. Its formation in the factory is dependent on many factors but probably the most important variables are the effect of some non-sug-ars In decreasing the rate of crystallization and others in increasing the solubility of sucrose in the molasses solution. Since equilib­ rium between crystall...
