The main limitation to the industrial scale hydrolysis of cellulose is the cost of cellulase production. This study evaluated cellulase and xylanase enzyme production by the cellulolytic mutant Penicillium echinulatum 9A02S1 using pretreated sugar cane bagasse as a carbon source. Most cultures grown with pretreated bagasse showed similar enzymatic activities to or higher enzymatic activities th...

This study aimed to optimize and validate an analytical methodology for determination of 1hydroxypyrene in urine of workers involved in harvesting sugar cane. The method used for determining 1hydroxypyrene in human urine is the enzymatic hydrolysis, extraction and clean-up by solid phase extraction (SPE) and quantified by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC ...

The sugar cane industry produces significant amounts of cane trash and bagasse. Inappropriate disposal of agro-wastes can lead to environmental problems. Converting wastes such as cane trash and bagasse (Bg) to a fertilizer and conditioner is the aim of sustainable waste management in sugar cane industry. Cow dung (CD), kitchen waste (KW), and sewage sludge (SS) were mixed with bagasse as amend...

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is an important industrial crop and mainly grown for the sugar jaggery production. The major constraint in sugarcane cultivation outbreak of red rot disease many high yielding varieties succumb to disease-causing huge reduction cane yield also quality cane. very difficult manage as pathogen deep seated stalk. Exploitation host resistance viable way contain disease. cl...

In South Africa (SA), individual consignments of shredded cane are analysed by the direct analysis of cane method (DAC). Although this procedure is capable of producing excellent sampling and accurate analysis of consignments, it is labour intensive. NIR has been used by several sugar industries for determining cane quality for cane payment purposes. Earlier work in SA indicated that At-line NI...

the present study was conducted with the objective of investigating the feasibility of using drainage water mixed with water to irrigate sugarcane (saccharum officinarum) in khuzestan province. the investigation was conducted in research center of sugarcane in farming seasons of years 2008-2009. four salinity levels of irrigation water were selected (s1, s2, s3 and s4 respectively with salinite...
