An effective extraction of the fiberized cane juice has been obtained from a prepared extraction column. Oligosaccharides co~nposed of glucose and fructose were found in both cane juice and in raw sugar. The oligosaccharides found In the juice and raw sugar were probably produced by enzymatic or bacterial reactions occurring in cane which had had a delay of 24 h or Inore between cutting and pro...

Glucose production from sugarcane bagasse was investigated. Sugarcane bagasse was pretreated by four different methods: combined acid and alkaline, combined hydrothermal and alkaline, alkaline, and peroxide pretreatment. The raw material and the solid fraction of the pretreated bagasse were characterized according to the composition, SEM, X-ray and FTIR analysis. Glucose production after enzyma...

Reducing the use of non-renewable fossil energy reserves together with improving the environment are two important reasons that drive interest in the use of bioethanol as an automotive fuel. Conversion of sugar and starch to ethanol has been proven at an industrial scale in Brazil and the United States, respectively, and this alcohol has been able to compete with conventional gasoline due to va...

The increasing worldwide concern regarding environmental issues, in particular after the consistent reports published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – IPCC, has significantly stimulated the production of biofuels. Among these biofuels, the ethanol produced from sugar cane is considered to be of particular importance. Currently, Brazil is the world's largest producer of sugar c...

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...
