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...

The compositions of the various organic and inorganic species in cane molasses show wide variations. Centrifugation can be used to remove suspended so!id particles. The bulk of these are precipitated calcium compounds. Removal of calcium by precipitation and subsequent centrifugation can be enhanced by the addition of sulphuric acid. The effects of dilution, temperature, and acid addition on th...

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...

BACKGROUND L-tryptophan is an important ingredient in medicines, especially in neuromedicines such as antidepressants. Many commercial processes employ various microorganisms with high tryptophan synthase activity to produce L-tryptophan from indole and L-serine, but these processes are very costly due to the costs of precursors, especially L-serine. OBJECTIVES For this reason, we studied the...

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 existence of a fat-soluble dietary factor essential for guinea pig nutrition was well established through investigations by Wulzen and Bahrs (l-3) and has been confirmed by Anderson and Caldwell.’ The isolation of a highly active fraction from raw cream, capable of alleviating an induced stiffness in guinea pigs, was described by van Wagtendonk and Wulzen (4). It seems apparent from physiol...

The essential amino acid L-tryptophan (Trp) has importance as a pharmaceutical agent, especially in neuro-medicine. It is also added to feed products as a food fortifier. Furthermore, application of Trp is widespread in biotechnology. Trp is produced by a condensation reaction between indole and Lserine, which is catalyzed by bacterial tryptophanase activity. In this study, we have investigated...
