pomegranate fruit is a rich source of bioactive compounds. the serious concern over unprocessed fruit juices is microbial contamination, which effectively inactivated by thermal processing, but it significantly affects juice functional compounds. therefore, the effect of gamma irradiation and ultrasonic on inoculated microbial to pomegranate juices was studied.two pomegranate cultivars were pur...

modeling of fermentation processes is so complicated and uncertain; therefore it is necessary to provide a robust and appropriate dynamic optimization method. in order to obtain the maximum amount of yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae), the bioreactor must be operated under optimal conditions. to determine substrate feeding in a fed-batch bioreactor, a simulated annealing (sa) approach was examine...

bioethanol made from lignocelluloses biomass resources, provides unique environmental, economic and strategic benefits, when compared to gasoline as automobile fuel. to be able to substitute gasoline by bioethanol, one should over come many obstacles, including the production of furfural and hydroxyl-methyl furfural, which are produced when cellulosic materials are treated in the presence of ac...

Protein recovery under sonication treatment and autolysis, also protein hydrolysis progress during enzymatic hydrolysis (using trypsin and chymotrypsin) and autolysis (using endogenous enzymes) were investigated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces marxianus. Crude protein content of dried yeast cells were 53.22% and 45.6% for S.cerevisiae and K.marxianus, respectively. After 96 hrs of...

Designing enriched probiotic supplements may have some advantages including protection of probiotic microorganism from oxidative destruction, improving enzyme activity of the gastrointestinal tract and probably increasing half-life of micronutrient. In this study Saccharomyces cerevisiae enriched with α-tocopherol produced as an accumulator and transporter of a lipid soluble vitamin for the fir...

biosorption of two anionic dyes, eosin y and eosin b, from aqueous solution using saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated in a batch mode. the influence process parameters such as contact time, initial dye concentration, sorbent dosage, ph and temperature of aqueous solution were studied. the maximum adsorption capacities were found to be at 200 and 100 mg g-1 for eosin y and 1 eosin b, respe...

considered to be the cleanest liquid fuel, bioethanol can be a reliable alternative to fossil fuels. it is produced by fermentation of sugar components of plant materials. the common onions are considered to be a favorable source of fermentation products as they have high sugar contents as well as contain various nutrients. this study focused on the effective production of ethanol from an endem...
