sugar beet roots and attached soil are usually transferred to sugar factories for processing ,then the roots are washed by pressurized water. muddy water as waste flows in canal and is used to irrigate fields. the possibility of occurrence and fluctuations of the pathogenic organisms in waste were studied in 2005. the samples were collected from waste water once a week. isolation of pathogens w...

Saba banana, Musa ‘saba’(Musa acuminata x Musa balbisiana) peel is an underutilized waste from processed banana manufacturing in the Philippines. The feasibility of saba banana peel pectin for use in food processing was assessed. Pectin from saba banana peel was extracted under two different extraction conditions. Pectin extraction was carried out using hydrochloric acid (0.5N, pH 1.5) and citr...

Orange bagasse comprising pulp tissues, rind, and seeds, constitutes a major industrial food waste arising from processing oranges for juice, and represents a fermentation feedstock for the production of enzymes. Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05 grown on essential oils-extracted orange bagasse in submerged (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) with and without added nutrients produced pectinas...

Excess of copper (>2 mg/L) in drinking water is significantly toxic to human being and ecological environments. Various treatment technologies for copper removal from industrial and municipal waste water effluents has been investigated in past. In the present study batch biosorption studies were carried out for the adsorption of Cu by using natural cheap agrowaste such as peel of Citrus sinensi...

Rapid acidification and inhibition by d-limonene are major challenges of biogas production from citrus waste. As limonene is a hydrophobic chemical, this challenge was encountered using hydrophilic polyvinylidine difluoride (PVDF) membranes in a biogas reactor. The more sensitive methane-producing archaea were encapsulated in the membranes, while freely suspended digesting bacteria were present...

Citrus is one of the most extensively grown fruits in several parts world. Therefore, its inustrial processing produces large amounts pulp waste. This study was aimed at assessing nutritive as well mineral components citrus waste Eureka lemon and Clementine from two farms while drawing potential comparisons with yellow maize for livestock feed. Proximate analyses were done using approved/standa...

This paper describes the determination of fatty acid composition of coffee, citrus and rum distillery wastes using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Lipid extracts of the waste samples are derivatized with phenacyl bromide and their phenacyl esters are separated on a C8 reversed-phase column by using continuous gradient elution with water and acetonitrile. The pre...
