In this study rhamnolipid biosurfactant production was investigated in eighteen strains of Pseudomonas spp.. Rhamnolipid by these strains was determined by a spectrophotometric method in nutrient broth medium (NB). From the 18 strains screened, two Pseudomonas strains (Pseudomonas luteola B17 and Pseudomonas putida B12) which had produced the highest percentage yield of rhamnolipid were examine...

in this study, the performance of different cultivation methods on sugar beet fields was evaluated. eight treatments were considered: a) use of a rolling cultivator twice during the growing season; b) use of a rolling cultivator three times during the growing season; c) use of a crescent cultivator twice during the growing season; d) use of a crescent cultivator three times during the growing s...

Sugar syrup and molasses from beet processing containing 620 and 570 mg/mL sucrose, respectively, were assayed as low-cost and available substrates for the enzymatic synthesis of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOSs). A commercial pectinase (Pectinex Ultra SP-L, from Aspergillus aculeatus) characterized by the presence of a transfructosylating activity was used as a biocatalyst. The FOS production inc...

Erythritol – a polyol suitable for human nutrition is industrially produced by microorganisms from costly glucose-rich or starch-rich feedstocks. However, the utilization of sugary by-products food industries could significantly reduce process costs. This study examined erythritol production sugarcane molasses, beet molasses and surplus grape musts, comparing four fungal strains. Beet presented...

sugar beet is one of the main crops in iranthat provides primary materials for sugar industries and so, its economic aspects are very important. one of these aspects is employment; it has begged to draw policy maker attentions. nevertheless, there hasnot been any survey study on this matter in iranyet. in this study, the current value of labor use in sugar beet cultivation (direct employment) i...

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...

ABSTRACT-Several herbicides are registered for selective weed control in sugar beet; however, no single chemical herbicide can control all weeds in beet fields. Frequently, two or more herbicides may have to be combined sequentially or as tank mixed to achieve adequate broad-spectrum weed control. In order to evaluate the effects of some combinations of broadleaf herbicides on sugar beet yield ...

Beet and cane molasses mainly contain mono- di-, tri-saccharides, composed by hexoses, as well pentoses in traces. However, rationing software consider sugars only one entity, with a rate of digestion ∼20% h−1. The aim this initial study was to investigate evaluate the vitro dynamics rates sugar fraction molasses. Three beet three were randomly selected from variety samples collected world-wide...
