Abstract The West Nusa Tenggara (WNT) province is one of the regions that contribute most to production rice, corn, and cacao. residues these crops increase as increases. potential availability residue was calculated on basis amount agricultural product unutilized residues. estimated energy collected data were processed combined with converted factors, such yield per hectare calorific value, ta...

The US food industry would benefit from a domestically produced gum with a dependable supply and consistent quality that can be used for preparing oil-in-water (O-in-W) emulsions, such as citrus oil emulsions for beverages. Corn fiber gum (CFG) is an arabinoxylan (hemicellulose) extracted from the corn kernel pericarp and/or endosperm fiber fractions that can possibly fulfill this need. In this...

The efficient management of nitrogen (N) fertilizer and irrigation is of utmost importance because they are two of the greatest expenses for corn production. This project was conducted to determine if yield and efficiency of fertilizer N in corn could be improved by applying N at later developmental stages through a subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) system. Experiments in 2014 and 2015 compared ...

Distiller grains with solubles (DDGs) is not a new or novel feed ingredient. However, increased supplies of distiller’s dried grains with solubles are anticipated throughout the US as a result of ethanol production and this has rekindled the interest in utilization of this corn co-product in animal feeds. DDGs as a feed ingredient has a moderate protein content. In the Midwest US, corn is the p...

The residual levels of permethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide, in two different parts of treated cereal grains have been evaluated. The parts of the grains studied include the husk/bran and the endosperm. In this research, two commonly used fresh grains, millet and corn, were obtained from Dawanau market of Kano State. The fresh grains were spiked with permethrin pesticide commercially known as c...

Crop residues have been considered during the past decade as alternate energy sources to supplement dwindling fossil fuel sources and enhance energy independence in the United States. Agricultural scientists have demonstrated the importance of crop residues in reducing soil erosion, enhancing the soil physical environment for plant growth, and as a reserve for major crop nutrients. In eastern N...

Microspheres were generated after subjecting corn stem rind to highpressure water pretreatment. These microspheres can be divided into two categories according to their location: free microspheres and adsorbed microspheres. The formation and characterization of both microsphere types were studied. For the free microspheres, the maximum formation was reached at 180 °C; when the temperature was t...
