The two red seaweeds, Gracilaria manilaensis and Kappaphycus alvarezii are cultivated in Malaysia for producing agar and carrageenan, respectively. The residues of these seaweeds after removing agar and carrageenan by dilute acid treatment were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis using cellulase (Cellic CTec 2). In the optimization of enzymatic hydrolysis, highest glucose concentration was achiev...

One hundred and twenty steers (512  37 lb) were stratified by weight and assigned randomly to incremental levels of DDGS treatments. Steers were limit fed a 47.5% alfalfa, 47.5% WCGF 5% supplement diet for five days at the beginning and end of the trial and weighed for three consecutive days to minimize variation due to gut fill. Treatments included 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 lb DDGS/ he...

Objective Fungi produce many different carotenoids and some are attractive in medical and industrial sources. In this work the ability of Mucor hiemalis (PTCC 5292) to produce carotenoids in media with different nitrogenous and carbon sources and incubation with white, yellow, blue and red lights (15W, 220V, E27) against dark-grown were studied. Materials and Method The microorganism cultiva...

no sufficient of chilling is a major problem in producing temperate fruit in warm climates. so determination of chilling requirement of different cultivars of grape is important. the aim of this research was determination of chilling requirement of four grape vine commercial cultivars including: kolahdary, red rasin, yaghoti and white rasin that factorial experiment based on a completely random...

Utilization of grapes for juice concentrate production is an important market for grape growers in the San Joaquin Valley. Approximately 536,000 tons of grapes were crushed during the 2001 season for juice concentrate production. The majority of fruit crushed for this purpose was from Thompson Seedless cultivar, In addition, red cultivars such as Royality and Rubired were also used to produce h...

Red grape Nero d’Avola cultivar pomace powder (GPP) was applied during fresh ovine cheese production in order to increase polyphenol content. Before cheeses were produced, the bacteria of a freeze-dried commercial starter culture isolated and tested vitro against GPP. Two dominant strains, both resistant GPP, identified. Thestarter inoculated pasteurized ewe’s milk curd divided into two bulks, ...

• We know that aromatic compounds from the grapes themselves are important for quality and regional character. But whereas some varieties (like the Muscats) produce musts with similar aromas to those of the resulting wines, the musts of the majority of varieties are practically odorless. This is true for Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sauvignon blanc, Semillon, Pinot noir, Gamay, Chardonnay...
