Alcohol in Iran is produced mainly from molasses of sugar cane and sugar beet. Other sources of alcohol production like wheat and barley exist, but because of some cultural and political reasons, they cannot be legally used for producing alcohol in Iran. Twenty-six manufacturers in 18 provinces are officially active. The actual capacity of ethanol production with medical purity is about 100mill...

such a galactosyl transfer reaction as well as the decomposition of raffinose in beet sugar production, they may also produce galactooligosaccharides. Mitutomi and OhtakaraX) reported the isolation and identification of six main oligosaccharides produced from raffinose by the action of the a-galactosidase from Pycnoporus cinnabarinus. In our preliminary experiments, however, the a-galactosidase...

eight pollinators (as pollen parents) and four cms lines (as seed parents) differing in salinity and drought tolerance were evaluated using agro-morphological traits and microsatellite markers. root yield, leaf weight, sugar content, sodium content (na+), potassium content (k+), a-amino nitrogen content, alkalinity coefficient, molasses sugar, white sugar content, extraction coefficient of suga...

water is the most important factor for agriculture development in iran. accordingly the optimal consumptione of water is very important. using pressurized irrigation system is one of the methods to improve agricultural water management. the objecttives of this research were to compare two irrigation methods of furrow and trickle irrigation systems impacts on quantity and quality characters of s...

background and objectives: over the last two decades, a large number of researches have been conducted regarding the importance of nitrogen in sugar beet. this indicate that there were needs to investigate more on nitrogen management to achive higher production and quality because less nitrogen application result in reducing yield and high nitrogen application would increase production costs an...

Staphylococcus saprophyticus ICBB 9554 and Citrobacter freundii 9763 are exoelectrogen bacteria applied as microbial fuel cells (MFC). We selected enrichment media for both these bacteria, characterized their synergistic traits, evaluated the growth conditions under different ecological factors. In this study, media, such those containing sugar, molasses, palm sugar (2, 4, 6% w/v) were tested S...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of different coating materials on weight loss (%) and sensory properties daily (fresh) quail eggs. For this purpose, eggs were coated with molasses, molasses + agar, glycerine whey they stored at room temperature. No material used in control group. It determined that there a very significant difference between groups terms egg all storage time...

Agro-industrial wastes have been used as substrate-support in solid state fermentation for enzyme production. Molasses and sugarcane bagasse are by-products of sugar industry and can be employed as substrates for invertase production. Invertase is an important enzyme for sweeteners development. In this study, a xerophilic fungus Aspergillus niger GH1 isolated of the Mexican semi-desert, previou...

There is a scarcity of studies evaluating the influence different commonly marketed sugars in water kefir beverage production. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate fermentation grains sugary solutions: brown, demerara, refined, coconut, and cane molasses. A total 10% each type sugar was dissolved sterile which were then added fermented for 48 h at room temperature. Analyses pH/acidity, solub...
