Deteriorated sugarcane can lead to processing difficulties in the factory and to high levels of unwanted compounds in the raw sugar, with some extending to refined sugar. A high level of dextran is one of the more serious processing problems in a sugar factory that is associated with deteriorated cane. The development of a rapid test to measure an indicator of the ‘amount of deterioration’ coul...

Dacotah switchgrass was pretreated with sulfuric acid concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt.% at 140, 160, and 180 °C and with 1 and 3 wt.% sulfur dioxide at 180 °C over a range of times. Sulfur dioxide loadings of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 10%wt.% of dry biomass were also tested at 180 °C for 10 min. Sugar yields were tracked for pretreatment and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis to identify conditio...

Xylitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol, a natural carbohydrate which occurs freely in certain plant parts (for example, in fruits, and also in products made of them) and in the metabolism of humans (1). Xylitol has been known to organic chemistry at least from the 1890's. German and French researchers were obviously the first ones who made xylitol chemically more than 100 years ago. This reacti...

Cassava starch is a main renewable bio-resource with low price and mass production in Guangxi, China. It was used as carbon source in growing Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 8004 (Xcc 8004) for xanthan gum production in this study. The xanthan gum yield of gelatinized cassava starch was higher than that of raw cassava starch; the maximal reducing sugar and amylase activity reached 14.30 g...

The data presented here supports the informational background of enzyme-based lignocellulose hydrolyzation, cellulase characterization, and sugar yield prediction for the work "Enzyme-based lignocellulose hydrolyzation - Sauter mean diameter of raw materials as a basis for cellulase performance characterization and yield prediction" by Glaser [1]. Glucose yields from the enzymatic hydrolysis of...

Bacterial starters have been developed for various fermented cereal products to improve their sensory and technological qualities. The earliest production of fermented foods was based on spontaneous fermentation due to the development of the microflora naturally present in the raw material. The quality of the end product was dependent on the microbial load and spectrum of the raw material. The ...

A two-year experiment was carried out to study the effects of pollinator line characteristicson the quantity and quality of monogerm hybrid seed production in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)and select proper pollinator for five promising sugar beet cytoplasmic male sterile lines (CMSs)during 2012-2013 growing seasons. In this study, four diploid pollinator lines were crossed byfive CMSs of sugar ...

To improve the enzymatic digestibility of switchgrass at mild temperatures, lime pretreatment of switchgrass was explored at 50 and 21 degrees Celsius, and compared with that at 121 degrees Celsius. The effects of residence time, lime loading, and biomass washing on the sugar production efficiency were investigated. Pretreatments were evaluated based on the yields of biomass-derived sugars in t...

Sugarcane is an important industrial and cash crop. It grown in almost all areas India, But commercial basis sugarcane produced tropical sub states. Because of available raw materials, most the sugar mills are located these areas. production India has been attributes to lack rainfall, reduction cultivation area. Also affects due drought decrease soil health, high level input cost. This paper pr...
