BACKGROUND Cane molasses, an important residue of the sugar industry, have the potential as a cost-effective carbon source that could serve as nutrients for industrial enzyme-producing microorganisms, especially filamentous fungi. However, the enzyme mixtures produced in such a complex medium are poorly characterized. In this study, the secretome of Trichoderma reesei grown on a cane molasses m...

There are always strong incentives for Process Management to achieve high levels of technical performance in a sugar factory. This is particularly so in the South African sugar industry where the ‘Division of Proceeds’ system accentuates these incentives. The primary route to achieving good technical performance is usually close control of process operations, guided by detailed measures of fact...

This study was conducted at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, experimental field University Sulaimani, during growing season 2012 – 2013. The experiment used two methods making silage (pit method and plastic/ bag method) by 18 pits with 100×80×100 cm, plasticbags sized 22 litter. Each silos contained three different forage types: grasses include whole barley oat; alfalfa as legu...

Production cost of enzyme is largely determined by the type of the strain and raw material used to propagate the strain. Hence, selection of the strain and raw materials is crucial in enzyme production. For Glucose oxidase (GOx), previous studies showed Aspergillus terreus UniMAP AA-1 offers a better alternative to the existing sources. Thus, a lower production cost could be logically anticipat...

in order to evaluate salinity tolerance in 20 sugar bee genotypes, an experiment was conducted in two fields with salinity (ec= 12 ds/m, ph= 7.6) and non-salinity stress, in the form of rcbd at miandoab agricultural research station. different morphological and physiological traits such as root yield, sugar percentage, white sugar percentage, molasses, n, na, k, syrup purity and green cover per...

Activated carbon is used in sugar industries for the removal of colorants from sugar liquor and for treatment of drinking water and industrial wastewater. Coal is a commercially used activated carbon, which is a limited non renewable resource. There are different renewable resources such as sugarcane Bagasse, Almond nutshells, Rice husk, Rice straw, Coconut shells, which could be used as altern...

Two commercial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saf-Instant (Baker's yeast) and Ethanol red (Mutant) were compared for ethanol production during hot summer season, using molasses diluted up to 6-7 degrees Brix containing 4%-5% sugars. The yeasts were then propagated in fermentation vessels to study the effects of yeast cell count and varying concentrations of Urea, DAP, inoculum size and La...

The rum industry is currently worth USD 16 billion, with production concentrated in tropical countries of the Caribbean and Asia-Pacific regions. primary feedstock for sugar cane molasses, a by-product refineries. main variables known to affect quality include composition length fermentation, type barrels time used aging rum. goal this review provide an overview impact these on quality, highlig...
