The thermostable enzyme systems produced by the thermophilic ascomycete fungus Talaromyces emersonii cultivated on various carbon sources were investigated for the production of high value products from sugar beet. A broad range of enzymatic activities relevant to cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin hydrolysis were identified in T. emersonii culture filtrates. In hydrolysis experiments conduct...

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...

In recent years, the new trend is towards bio-fuel. One of these biofuels is ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which could be produced economically by the controlled fermentation of biomasses. The results of the alcoholic fermentation of beet sugar molasses and wheat milling residues (Akalona) were fed into a computer program. The kinetic parameters for these fermentation reactions were determined. Thes...

conclusions our present study shows that sugar beet molasses is a source of plp and l-ser; and hence, suggests the general application of the approach to produce l-trp more economically. results consequently, the potassium phosphate buffer system was considered as the suitably buffered reaction medium. the concentration of l-trp produced in reaction medium was 0.3 mm and 0.12 mm for glucose and...

such a galactosyl transfer reaction as well as the decomposition of raffinose in beet sugar production, they may also produce galactooligosaccharides. Mitutomi and OhtakaraX) reported the isolation and identification of six main oligosaccharides produced from raffinose by the action of the a-galactosidase from Pycnoporus cinnabarinus. In our preliminary experiments, however, the a-galactosidase...

-----------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------Xanthan gum is a natural polysaccharide having an industrial importance. It is commonly called as heteropolysaccharide which is produced by Xanthomonas campestris. In the present investigation Xanthan gum fermentation by local isolates of Xanthomonas campestris NRRL-B-1449 from sugar...

Molasses, the main byproduct of sugar production, is a well-known source of antioxidants. In this study sugar cane molasses (SCM) and sugar beet molasses (SBM) were investigated for their phenolic profile and in vitro antioxidant capacity and for their protective effect in human HepG2 cells submitted to oxidative stress. According to its higher phenolic concentration and antioxidant capacity in...

Alcohol in Iran is produced mainly from molasses of sugar cane and sugar beet. Other sources of alcohol production like wheat and barley exist, but because of some cultural and political reasons, they cannot be legally used for producing alcohol in Iran. Twenty-six manufacturers in 18 provinces are officially active. The actual capacity of ethanol production with medical purity is about 100mill...

Thirty-six Merino lambs (8 to 9 wk of age, and 15.3 ± 0.13 kg of initial BW) 1 were used to evaluate the effects of the inclusion of 120 g sugar beet pulp (replacing 2 barley) and of the addition of 20 g sodium bicarbonate per kg concentrate on feed 3 intake, digestibility, animal performance and carcass characteristics in fattening lambs. 4 Animals were housed individually and fed barley straw...
