the current study is an attempt to contribute for efficient and cost-effective substrates for xanthan gum production. in this context, the sugar cane molasses wastes can be used as a cheap substrate for xanthan gum production. xanthan biopolymer production by a novel xanthomonas campestris strain ibrc-m 10644 was optimized with statistical approaches. based on the results of response surface me...

Sugar cane plantations have been expanding over a large area of the world for many centuries. During that time, sugar and several types of liquor, particularly rum, have been manufactured in huge quantities. In Brazil, about 300 million L of aguardente de cana are produced annually (Anon., 1953) by distilling fermented cane juice. Although the natural yeast flora of sugar cane juice may contrib...

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...

Molasses meal is a popular stock feed which is manufactured from two by-products of the sugar milling process, namely cane flour and molasses. Cane flour, or pulp, is prepared from bagasse by separating the pithy fraction and then drying and milling it. In this form it is capable of absorbing up to four times its own weight of molasses. One such stock feed, produced in Natal, is made up of 75% ...

Stillage or vinasse, which is a byproduct of ethanol production, is produced from the fermentation of molasses and is used as a source of potassium on cane fields at Simunye-Royal Swaziland Sugar Corporation. Due concern regarding its high salt content and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), a trial was established on an S set soil (Mayo form) to study the effect of increasing levels of concentrated ...

A new local strain of S. cerevisiae F-514, for ethanol production during hot summer season, using Egyptian sugar cane molasses was applied in Egyptian distillery factory. The inouluum was propagated through 300 L, 3 m(3), and 12 m(3) fermenters charged with diluted sugar cane molasses containing 4%-5% sugars. The yeast was applied in fermentation vessels 65 m(3) working volume to study the vary...

the purpose of this research was to design a semi-industrial culture medium to obtain the maximum biomass production from bacterium bacillus subtilis utb96. in the first step, in order to reduce the cost of culture medium components, commercial products and industrial by products including, sugar beet molasses, sugar cane molasses, potato waste water and milk serum as carbon sources and corn st...

The South African sugar industry can be regarded as mainly a diffusion industry with 76% of all cane now handled by diffusers. With the conversion from milling to diffusion, concerns were expressed that higher temperatures, imbibition levels and improved extraction in itselfwould result in various processing difficulties. Among these were expected clarification problems associated with the extr...

background: l-tryptophan is used widespread in the pharmaceutical industry. the majority of l-trp production depends on microbial processes that produce l-tryptophan from indole and l-serine. these processes are very costly due to the costs of precursors, especially l-serine. use of inexpensive substitutions as the l-serine source of l-tryptophan production enables us to reach a cost-effective ...
