Shoots of Picea abies (Norwegian spruce) are traditional material for syrup production in the small and medium sized food industry in Northern Finland. The shoot products are believed to be beneficial to one’s health because of their purity and nutritional value, e.g. high mineral, ascorbic acid and flavonoid content. They are also valued for their essential oil content and the forest aroma. In...

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...

Molasses exhaustion has been investigated in South Africa since 1949, and Bruijn et al. (1972) applied a laboratory exhaustion procedure which has since been used extensively (Rein and Smith, 1981). The same approach and equipment have been used to investigate the effect of selected impurities on molasses exhaustion. These impurities include fructose, glucose, inorganic ash constituents, such a...

Comparisons of 2x, 3x, and 4X sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) lines and hybrids were made to determine the effects of ploidy level on sucrose yield and quality components in equivalent and non-equivalent hybrid populations. The relative order of importance for the components of recoverable sucrose was generally the same for all three ploidy levels, with root weight having the greatest path coeffic...

Partitioning of dry matter (DM) in sugarcane is of interest for two fundamental reasons. Firstly sugar production depends directly on partitioning of biomass to the stalk and then to sucrose stored in the stalk. Secondly, various DM components of the stalk and particularly sucrose concentration are used to calculate the value of cane consignments delivered to the mill (Berding, 1997). The value...

The sugar industry in Russia plays a huge role ensuring the country’s food security and is strategic industry. Of 90 factories today, third of are closed due to unprofitability associated with high cost production low feed capacity. raw material for beet, mainly domestically produced. locations most small municipalities, which they town-forming enterprises. For revival factories, it necessary i...

A fast and low-cost analytical method to determine the concentrations of carotenoids (β-carotene, lutein, lycopene) from mixed standard solutions or fruit extracts (kiwi fruits, tomato paste, pink grapefruit juice, kiwi-pineapple smoothie, apricot nectar) was tested. The methodology based on UV-Vis spectrophotometry Multivariate Curve Resolution-Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS). Results show...
