This study evaluated the influence of variety type on dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis responses in terms of xylose, glucose and total combined sugar yields of eight varieties of sugarcane bagasse. The pretreatment was carried out in small tubular reactors. The materials were pretreated under five different conditions and hydrolysed with a standard enzyme dosage (15 FPU/g water...

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum Linn) is a raw material for sugar production. PT. Perkebunan Nusantara II one of the nurseries and sugarcane processing places in North Sumatra. The results observations on production are always increasing but not too optimal. Determination superior varieties seeds very appropriate to be factors supporting development so that there no longer milling period low y...

This study aims to determine the quality of Bali cattle spermatozoa diluted using sugarcane juice-egg yolk. research was carried out in stables and Laboratory Faculty Agriculture, University Timor August-September 2020. Semen collected from an adult male bali cattle, aged ± 4.5 years healthy condition. The method used this is experimental a completely randomized design consisting 4 treatments 5...

The reported effects of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) juice on oral bioavailability of certain prescription drugs have led to the discovery of the inhibition by compounds in grapefruit of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in the intestinal wall and liver. Recent evidence indicates that furanocoumarins related to bergamottin [5-[(3',7'-dimethyl-2',6'-octadienyl)oxy]psoralen] are primarily respon...

The effect of ascorbic acid and lemon juice on the silkworm, Bombyx mori has been studied with reference to larval growth, protein synthesis and silk production. Both these exogenous factors, when supplemented with mulberry diet, showed positive impact on larval growth during the fourth and fifth instar developmental stages. The analysis of growth trends in terms of compound periodical growth r...

in this study, response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum raw sugar beet juice purification process conditions using bentonite to produce inverted liquid sugar. for this purpose, impact of factors on the purification process such as bentonite concentration (1-5 gr/li), ph (3.5-6) and temperature (35-95 ˚c) was investigated. for each response, a second-order polynomial model ...

BACKGROUND Sugarcane is a subtropical crop that produces large amounts of biomass annually. It is a key agricultural crop in many countries for the production of sugar and other products. Residual bagasse following sucrose extraction is currently underutilized and it has potential as a carbohydrate source for the production of biofuels. As with all lignocellulosic crops, lignin acts as a barrie...

Results: The gastric residue rate of the rats in the drug-treated group was significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05), while the intestinal propulsive rates were markedly higher (P<0.05). The motilin and gastrin level in serum of the drug-treated groups had significantly increased (P<0.05) compared with the control group. Compared with the raw product group, there was an apparent r...

Pressmud is a substrate derived from sugarcane juice filtrate, and around 26-40  kg of this residue are produced per ton of sugarcane. It is mainly used as fertilizer in crops, and its application in the field is often made without any prior treatment, but, in this research, it was studied for the risk this practice poses for human health. This research was stimulated by previous results indica...

During the past three years we have had a considerable number of cases of scurvy develop in infants being fed on pasteurized milk. In 1912, when the first cases were noted, we were pasteurizing the milk in our own diet kitchen, heating it to a temperature of 165 F. for twenty minutes. At this time several cases of scurvy developed, owing to the fact that through an oversight orange-juice was no...
