Motivation Interest is growing in the development of material technologies that are based on renewable resources. The use of biomass as feedstock is of expanding industrial significance, particularly in the energy and commodities sectors. Relative to these arenas, monoand polysaccharides, very flexible and tunable chemical starting materials, are estimated to make up three-quarters of the world...

cellulose is a raw material which is extensively used in the manufacture of paints, papers, textiles, agricultural products and cosmetics. the waste of sugar beet pulp after titration is a source of cellulose. the current study was carried out to study the possibility of cellulose production from sugar beet pulp waste at titration stage as a 3×3×2 factorial study on the basis of a randomized co...

Salak is only used for the flesh of fruit, peel and seeds salak, it has not been widely developed into a product becomes waste. Consumption generally made in form extracts such as tea, where dried then after drying mashed powder brewed using hot water. The use water needs to attention temperature brewing time because can affect amount nutrient content tea. direct contact between extract powder....

Abstract—This paper measures technical and scale efficiencies of 40 Indian sugar companies for the period from 2004-05 to 201314. The efficiencies are estimated through input-oriented DEA models using one output variable—value of output (VOP) and five input variables—capital cost (CA), employee cost (EMP), raw material (RW), energy & fuel (E&F) and other manufacturing expenses (OME). The sugar ...

OBJECTIVE Obesity (BMI >30) and related health problems, including coronary heart disease (CHD), is without question a public health concern. The purpose of this study was to modify a traditional biscuit by the addition of vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Folic Acid, Vitamin C and Prebiotic fibre, while reducing salt and sugar. DESIGN Development and commercial manufacture of the functional biscuit w...

A new method has been devised for the preparation of calcium salts of the sugar acids in which the sugar is electrolytically oxidized in the presence ofcalcium carbonate and a bromide. The sugar is oxidized in manner analogous to the well-known bromine oxidation, but since only a small quantity of bromide is used as a catalyst, the new method has the decided advantage that the reaction product ...

The objective of this investigation was to find a simple method for the production of phenolic rich products and sugar derivatives (biopolyols) via separation of liquefied lingocellulosic materials. Liquefaction of lignocellulosic materials was conducted in methanol at 180 °C for 15 min with the conversion of raw materials at about 75%. After liquefaction, the liquefied products were separated ...

Context modelling is one of the stages conducted during the context life cycle. It has the aim of giving meaning and structure to the collected context’s raw data. Although there are different context models proposed in the literature, we have identified some gaps that are not fully covered, particularly related to the reusability of the models themselves and the lack of consolidated and standa...
