The objective of this experiment was to quantify intakes, duodenal flows, and ruminal apparent synthesis (AS) of B-vitamins in lactating dairy cows fed diets varying in forage and nonfiber carbohydrate (NFC) contents. Eight (4 primiparous and 4 multiparous) ruminally and duodenally cannulated Holstein cows were assigned to 4 dietary treatments in a replicated 21-d period, 4 x 4 Latin square des...

Pigs (25-45 kg) were fed on either cereal or semi-purified basal diets supplemented with either high or low levels of sugar-beet pulp or wood cellulose (Solka-floc). The apparent digestibility and retention of N and apparent digestibility and metabolizability of energy (GE) and the apparent digestibility of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and their constituent monomers were measured during wee...

sugar beet pulp is one of the sugar industries by-products which can be used for cellulase enzyme production, enzymatic saccharification, and alcohol production due to its high percentage of lingo-cellulosic content. trichoderma spp. is an important fungus that produces a wide range of cellulytic enzymes. in this study, cellulase enzyme was produced by placing sugar beet pulp in trichoderma fer...

The current study aimed to evaluate the variation in fermentation activity along the distal canine gastrointestinal tract (GIT, Exp. 1). It also aimed to assess fermentation kinetics and end product profiles of 16 dietary fibers for dog foods using canine fecal inoculum (Exp. 2). For Exp. 1, digesta were collected from the distal ileum, proximal colon, transverse colon, and rectum of 3 adult do...

Physico-chemical properties of dietary fibres might be involved in metabolic control, particularly of the postprandial blood glucose response. The aim of the present study was to look at the effects of the content of soluble fibres and of the particle size of solid fibres on in vitro and in vivo starch hydrolysis and on the subsequent glucose absorption as well as the triacylglycerolaemia. Two ...

The self-adhesive potential of nanocellulose from aqueous cellulosic suspensions is of interest with regard to a potential replacement of synthetic adhesives. In order to evaluate the performance of microfibrillated cellulose from different (ligno-)cellulosic raw materials for this purpose, softwood and hardwood powder were fibrillated and compared to sugar beet pulp as a representative non-woo...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the physical characteristics, chemical composition and protein fractions of sugar beet pulp produced in iran and comparing them with the tabular values of cornell net carbohydrate and protein system. a total of 39 samples of 13 different sugar factories were sampled from iran-wide. particle size distributions of samples were determined using the penn state ...

BACKGROUND The filamentous fungus Penicillium purpurogenum grows on a variety of natural carbon sources, such as sugar beet pulp, and secretes to the medium a large number of enzymes that degrade the carbohydrate components of lignocellulose. Sugar beet pulp is rich in pectin, and the purpose of this work is to identify novel esterases produced by the fungus, which may participate in pectin deg...

pectin is used as gelatinizing agent in food industry. in this study pectin was extracted from five commercial sugar beet varieties namely: doroty, rasul, 7112, br1 and ic using pre-hydrolysis technique. experiments were conducted using factorial design to verify the effect of temperature, time, percentage of hcl and water requirements on the extraction rate of pectin. the qualitative factors o...
