Lignocellulosic biomass-derived sugars are considered nowadays to be an economically attractive carbohydrate feedstock for large-scale fermentations of bulk chemicals such as lactic acid. In the present study, corncob molasses containing a high content of xylose, which is one of the lignocellulosic biomasses and a waste by-product from xylitol production, was used for L-lactic acid production v...

this study was conducted to determine the nutritive value of fresh and ensiled whole and partly stoned olive cake (oc) with or without molasses i.e., 0 and 50 gkg-1 on fresh basis. dry matter (dm), organic matter (om), crude protein (cp), neutral detergent fiber (ndf), acid detergent fiber (adf), lignin (sa), ether extract (ee), water soluble carbohydrates (wsc), and total phenols (tph) of all ...

things that can be noted immediately is that except for ADF, NDF, and calcium, distillers grains supply more nutrients relative to the requirements of cattle than the other feeds. When comparing with straw, protein in distillers grains is six times greater, whereas phosphorus is eight times greater. The high sulfur concentration in distillers grains also may pose a constraint, particularly when...

In this study, the mineral contents of bread with boiled grape, date, carob and mulberry fruit juices at five different concentrations were determined. The fluctuations of B and Cu contents in bread with pekmez (molasses) were determined between 4.10 to 4.49 mg/kg and 2.74 and 3.34 mg/kg respectively. Ca, Mg, K, P and S were the main macro-elements of bread samples. The highest values of Ca...

For feeding in large proportions to fatten beef cattle, Australian molasses have the following mineral nutrient characteristics: (a) all provide adequate to excess amounts of K, Ca, Mg, S, Cl, Co and Fe; (b) all are very deficient in P; (c) Na is deficient in some molasses from the Northern region; (d) Cu, Zn and Mn are all adequate for the lowest NRC level, but many molasses need supplementati...

Distillers grains are co-products produced from the fermentation of grains for alcohol. Traditionally, alcohol was produced mainly for the beverage liquor industry, but in the last 20 years its use as an alternative fuel has increased significantly. This increased demand has led to the development of several ethanol production plants in Minnesota and the surrounding area. In 1996, it is estimat...

Fifteen Holstein cows (10 multiparous and 5 primiparous) in early to mid lactation (79.3 +/- 9.2 d in milk) were used in a multiple 5 x 5 Latin square design with 4-wk periods to evaluate and compare the use of condensed corn distillers solubles (CCDS) and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) in the total mixed ration. The forage portion of the diets was kept constant at 27.5% corn sila...

The production of pullulan from molasses and synthetic medium by Aureobasidium pullulans P56 in batch culture was investigated. Among the pretreatments of molasses used to increase polysaccharide production, sulfuric acid + activated carbon treatment gave better results with regard to polysaccharide concentration, polysaccharide yield and sugar utilization. A maximum polysaccharide concentratio...

Two experiments evaluated feeding soybean hulls (SBH) in finishing diets that contain distillers grains plus solubles on performance and carcass characteristics. Dietary concentrations of SBH were 0, 12.5, 25, and 37.5% of diet DM. In Exp. 1, 167 crossbred yearling steers (395 ± 22 kg of BW) were fed for 117 d in a randomized block design in which pelleted SBH replaced dry-rolled corn. All diet...
