the present study was conducted with the objective of investigating the feasibility of using drainage water mixed with water to irrigate sugarcane (saccharum officinarum) in khuzestan province. the investigation was conducted in research center of sugarcane in farming seasons of years 2008-2009. four salinity levels of irrigation water were selected (s1, s2, s3 and s4 respectively with salinite...

It is urgent to advance the discussion on the guidelines that Brazil should adopt to diversify energy sources in order to reduce dependency and promote the replacement of fossil fuels. This is one of the main ways to reduce the already deleterious negative impact that human activities are causing to the environment. This agenda includes the development of technologies for the expansion of sugar...

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) has been used for centuries to minimize color in food processing and fruit and vegetable storage. In the sugar industry, it is used routinely by sugar beet processors to reduce and prevent color formation in white refined sugar. Sugarcane processors throughout the world use SO2 to produce plantation white sugars. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of SO2 on ...

This paper describes design and analysis of Spur gear. In the present work, it is proposed to substitute the metallic gear of sugarcane juice machine with plastic gears to reduce the weight and noise. For the purpose of two different types of plastic materials were considered namely Nylon and Polycarbonate and their viability are checked with their counterpart metallic gear (Cast iron). Based o...

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) juice is widely consumed by people of the tropics and subtropics. It has been used to cure jaundice and liver-related disorders in Indian systems of medicine. Its possible mechanism of action was examined in terms of antioxidant availability. The assays involved different levels of antioxidant action such as oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), radical...

This study was conducted to investigate the natural co-occurrence of multiple toxic fungal and bacterial metabolites in sugarcane grass and juice intended for human consumption in Upper Egypt. Quantification of the target analytes has been done using the "dilute and shoot" approach followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A total number of 29 and 33 different metab...

THERE HAS been substantial interest within the Australian sugar industry in product diversification as a means to reduce its exposure to fluctuating raw sugar prices and in order to increase its commercial viability. In particular, the industry is looking at fibrous residues from sugarcane harvesting (trash) and from sugarcane milling (bagasse) for cogeneration and the production of biocommodit...

The aim of this study was to analyze sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) biometric and technological data, obtained at different timepoints, using path analysis. The experiment was conducted in União, PI, Brazil, and evaluated 12 sugarcane genotypes (RB036066, RB9438, RB935744, RB021764, RB021754, RB021534, RB966229, RB977540, RB863129, and RB987935, and the varieties RB92579 and RB867515 as cont...

We evaluated the effect of phosphorus application rates from various sources and in the presence or absence of filter cake on soil phosphorus, plant phosphorus, changes in acid phosphatase activity, and sugarcane productivity grown in Eutrophic Red Ultisol. Three P sources were used (triple superphosphate, Araxa rock phosphate, and Bayovar rock phosphate) and four application rates (0, 90, 180,...

PURPOSE Sugarcane juice (ScJ) is a natural drink popular in most tropical Asian regions. However, research on its effect in enhancing sports performance is limited. The present investigation was to study the effect of sugarcane juice on exercise metabolism and sport performance of athletes in comparison to a commercially available sports drinks. METHODS Fifteen male athletes (18-25 yrs) were ...
