Agricultural wastes are available in large volumes at low cost and have been considered promising sustainable resources for the synthesis of many biopolymers. The agro-industrial waste products such as paddy straw, sugarcane bagasse, potato peel can serve economical nutritional sources cultivation fungi. Our studies revealed that growth media supplemented with @ 1% straw +1% glucose (w/v) yield...

Two-stage treatments of sugarcane bagasse with steam and alkaline peroxide were performed and the hemicelluloses extracted were characterized by chemical methods, SEC-MALLS, FT-IR and 13C NMR. The hemicellulose from steam pretreatment was found to contain galacto-arabinoxylans while alkaline peroxide extraction yielded predominately linear arabinoxylans.The present studyshowed a promising seque...

Today Brazil is the second world producer of fuel ethanol but has the best production system in terms of environmental impact and social positive impacts. This is due to the use of sugarcane as feedstock that is perhaps the world champion crop in terms of biomass productivity and photosynthesis efficiency, even not being near to the theoretical limit. In this presentation is shown how the sugar...

The present day commercial sugarcane varieties are derivatives of man made interspecific hybrids between cultivated Saccharum officinarum and wild S. spontaneum of the family Gramineae. Interspecific and intergeneric hybrids with wild related species are being developed for the genetic base broadening of sugarcane. The present study is on the morphology and cytology of a novel hybrid between su...

background and objective: in the present study, bacillus polymyxa ncim no. 2539 was selected to utilize agro-industrial byproduct (orange peel) for amylase production under submerged fermentation conditions. material and methods: different agro-industrial byproducts like cane molasses, wheat bran, rice bran and orange peel were screened for maximum amylase production. amylase activitiy of bacil...

background and objectives: in the era of global industrialization, enzymes are being used extensively in the various sectors including food processing. owing to the high price of enzymes, various initiatives have been undertaken by the r&d; sector for the development of new processes or improvement in the existing processes for production of cost effective enzymes. with the advancement in the f...

Agricultural residues are rich in bioactive compounds. These residues can be used as an alternate source for the production of different products like biogas, biofuel, mushroom, and tempeh as the raw material in various researches and industries. The use of agro-industrial wastes as raw materials can help to reduce the production cost and also reduce the pollution load from the environment. Agr...

In Brazil, sugarcane is the crop whose agro-industrial development has taken longest path and greatest prominence in national agro-industry, without precedent. With 500 years of history, Brazil today largest producer raw material ethanol world. addition, world's program for replacement fossil fuel by vehicles shares with India position sugar producer; it developed active genetic improvement How...
