Background and Objectives: Recognizing the impurities of sugar beet and also comparing different methods of juice purification have shown that the chemical purification based on lime and carbon dioxide is really efficient and economic in the sugar industry. Factories have to control and improve purification stages to achieve clear juice with high chemical purity, low color, minimum hardness, su...

Cereal Chem. 90(1):70–79 Wider exploration of ethanol coproduct uses is necessary as the ethanol industry continues to face challenges. Currently, process streams such as thin stillage and condensed distillers solubles (CDS) are processed into distillers dried grains with solubles and used as animal feeds, but other higher value opportunities may exist. The objective of this study was to identi...

Al/SiC functionally graded and metal-matrix composites were investigated through dynamic mechanical analyzer as a function of vibrating frequencies. It was found that internal frictions strongly dependent on material type frequency. Tan ? reached 30.4 × 10–3 21.2 10–3in FGM MMC, respectively, at frequency 1 Hz. The damping capacity decreased the increased to 10 Hz 30 Storage moduli 172 GPa 144 ...

Advancements in Sugar include 1) parameterizable netlists, 2) nonlinear frequency response analysis, 3) subnets, 4) improved MNA, 5) reduced order modeling, and 6) a more accurate nonlinear beam model. Examples of these features include the simulation of a two-axis mirror with over 10,000 degrees of freedom, the reduced order modeling applied of an electrostatic gap actuator, the parameterized ...

As a part of our recent studies of RNA cleavage using antisense oligonucleotide-metal complex(es) conjugates, we prepared self-complementary 2'-O-methyloligonucleotides with a terpyridine x Cu(II) complex, which was attached to the sugar portion of the 5'-end or 3'-end. The thermal stabilities of the formed duplexes, as compared with those of the unmodified 2'-O-methyl duplexes, revealed that b...

Bacterial Cellulose biosynthesis is one of the most important applied biochemical processes in biology. In order to explain the detailed molecular events of bacterial cellulose biosynthesis, we discuss in this work, the different steps required for bacterial cellulose formation and crystallization from sugar cane and honey. The potential of organisms to produce biocellulose fibers was analyzed....

Under the conditions used to prepare the traditional sugar syrups and caramels, commercial sucrose is heated with small amounts of water in order to attain supersaturated (at room temperature) solutions. Undesuch conditions, a lag phase in sucrose thermal degradation was experimentally observed. This lag phase was also observed in the formation of reaction products, and can be interpreted has a...
