Large amount of wastes is generated every year from the industrial processing of agricultural raw materials. Most of these wastes are used as animal feed or burned as alternative for elimination. However, such wastes usually have a composition rich in sugars, minerals and proteins, and therefore, they should not be considered “wastes” but raw materials for other industrial processes. The presen...

Background In Brazil the production of fuel ethanol is based on the fermentation of sucrose from sugarcane by selected industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strains [1-3], a mature and highly competitive technology. Taking into account that the feedstock costs have a major role in the overall economics of the process, it is expected that more efficient conversions of sucrose into ethanol (1...

abstract innovation to help organizations cope with the dynamic markets turbulence in the external environment and can achieve long-term goals. one of the most initiators of innovation, learning. the main aim of this study is to examine the effect of the organizational learning on innovation performance. accordingly, the study population is all supervisors and employees of manufacturing and ind...

Sugarcane molasses is rich in nutriments and vitamins. It may be used as the carbon source for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) by Mucor recurvus sp. Using sugarcane molasses, the effects of fermentation parameters and media components on polyunsaturated fatty acid production through both linear and orthogonal array experiments were investigated. The best fermentation condit...

A total of 278 different isolates of filamentous fungi were screened using synthetic medium for respective ability to produce kojic acid. Nineteen, six, and five isolates proved to be low, moderate, and high kojic acid producers, respectively. Levels of kojic acid produced were generally increased when shaking cultivation was used rather than those obtained using static cultivation. A trial for...

Holocellulose structures from agro-industrial residues rely on main and side chain attacking enzymes with different specificities for complete hydrolysis. Combinations of crude enzymatic extracts from different fungal species, including Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma longibrachiatum, were applied to sugar cane bagasse, banana stem and dirty cotton res...

India is the largest producer of sugarcane in Asia and its sugar industry represents second agro-based industry. Sugarcane bagasse (SCB), a major waste from industries, indisputably lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) embedding ∼60 % carbohydrates, making it renewable source fermentable sugars. Despite unique chemical composition, SCB primarily used for co-generation. The enormous potential can be un...

BACKGROUND: In order to investigate the induction of salinity tolerance in CP72-1312 commercial cultivar in tissue culture condition, an experiment was carried out in the tissue culture laboratory of Karoun Agro-Industry Company in 2017 year. OBJECTIVES: At this study we evaluated tolerance of CP73-1312 sugarcane commercial cultivar to salt stress in tiss...
