Efficient extraction method to collect sugar from sweet sorghum
BACKGROUND Sweet sorghum is a domesticated grass containing a sugar-rich juice that can be readily utilized for ethanol production. Most of the sugar is stored inside the cells of the stalk tissue and can be difficult to release, a necessary step before conventional fermentation. While this crop holds much promise as an arid land sugar source for biofuel production, a number of challenges must ...
متن کاملSweet Sorghum: From Theory to Practice
Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a multipurpose crop (food, feed, fodder and fuel) that has the potential as an alternative biofuel feedstock without impacting food and fodder security. This chapter entitled ‘‘Sweet sorghum: From theory to practice’’ discusses on the historical developments in sweet sorghum and immense range of genetic variability that was available in major sorgh...
متن کاملSweet Sorghum: Salt Tolerance and High Biomass Sugar Crop
Soil salinity is one of the main problems for plant growth in agriculture, especially in countries where crops should be irrigated (Ahloowalia et al., 2004). Soil salinity has been considered a limiting factor to crop production in arid and semi arid regions of the world (Munns, 2002). Saline soils are estimated about 5 – 10% of the world’s arable land (Szabolcs, 1994), and the area affected by...
متن کاملGenomewide Association for Sugar Yield in Sweet Sorghum
Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is characterized by juicy stems with high concentrations of fermentable sugars. The genetic basis of these phenotypes is not understood. A sweet sorghum diversity panel (n = 252), consisting of sweet sorghum cultivars (n = 80) and diverse landraces selected for matching plant height and maturity (n = 172), was genotyped and phenotyped in three environ...
