OBJECTIVE Chronic ethanol consumption is a major public health problem throughout the world. We investigated the anxiolytic-like effects and the possible ever injury induced by the chronic consumption of ethanol or sugarcane spirit in mice. METHOD Adult mice were exposed to a two-bottle free-choice paradigm for 6 weeks. The mice in Group A (n = 16) had access to sugarcane spirit + distilled w...

Pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) composed of two functionally-connected phases, the oxidative and non-oxidative phase. Both phases catalysed by a series of enzymes. Transketolase is one of key enzymes of non-oxidative phase in which transfer two carbon units from fructose-6-phosphate to erythrose-4-phosphate and convert glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to xylulose-5-phosphate. In plant, erythrose-4-ph...

The effort of Indonesian people to fulfill their protein intake in an economically accessible way is by producing and consuming oyster mushrooms, because content was viable as alternative animal-based products. Combination sugarcane bagasse, palm fronds (PKS), sawdust can be used growing medium for mushrooms. aim this study was: (1) analyze the change pH combination media formulation Palm Oil F...

Sugarcane leaves and trash burning during harvesting, vinasse management, are major challenges of the Thai sugarcane industry. Identification appropriate valorization pathways for both biomass waste streams using biorefinery concept is necessary. This study aims to assess environmental sustainability five CE models, including (1) electricity, (2) biochar, (3) as a soil conditioner, (4) bio-fert...

There is laboratory evidence that refined carbohydrates are more cariogenic compared with unrefined carbohydrates. It was reported that sugarcane workers in South Africa, who consumed large quantities of raw sugarcane daily, had a low caries experience. However, other epidemiologic studies of this relationship, both in Africa and elsewhere, have given mixed results and to date the question conc...

Abstract This article intends to improve the recycling of waste sugarcane ( Saccharum officinarum ) tops and value-added utilization pyroligneous acid. Fresh can be used by ruminants, but they are prone dehydration mildew during storage, reducing their feeding value. Pyroligneous acid, a by-product in process making biochar, has good antibacterial effects. Adding acid for silage fermentation ma...

Brazil is a major producer of agro-industrial residues, such as sugarcane bagasse, which could be used as raw material for microbial production of cellulases as an important strategy for the development of sustainable processes of second generation ethanol production. For this purpose, this work aimed at screening for glycosyl hydrolase activities of fungal strains isolated from the Brazilian C...

BACKGROUND Sugarcane is one of the most important crops in Brazil, mainly because of its use in biofuel production. Recent studies have sought to determine the role of sugarcane endophytic microbial diversity in microorganism-plant interactions, and their biotechnological potential. Epicoccum nigrum is an important sugarcane endophytic fungus that has been associated with the biological control...

Sugarcane, one of the most photosynthetically efficient crops, is an important source of sugar and feedstock for green energy and co-generation. The high level of polyploidy and genomic peculiarities in this crop point towards a complex mechanism of regulation for the economically important traits like sugar content, cane yield related traits, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses etc. The ...
