Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable raw material on the earth and it is so far the most suitable and promising resource for the production of biofuels to replace long-term use of fossil oil. This research aims to convert lignocellulose-based industrial residuals, fibre sludge (FS) from a pulp mill and pine sawdust (PSD) from a sawmill, into platform sugars by two different bi...

There have been very many methods suggested from time to time for the determination of reducing sugars, and considerable difficulty has been experienced in obtaining one which is sufficiently foolqxoof to give satisfactory results in the hands of all operators. In 1936 von Stieglitz and Home 11) reviewed several methods and recommended the electro* metric determmat~on of the end point with the ...

Scales' method for the determination of reducing sugars was modified by increasing the boiling time, and reducing values of 32 sugars were determined at various concentrations. The method as modified provides a very simple, convenient means for the quantitative determination of the various sugars. A comparison of the reducing values of different sugars reveals that the configurations of carbons...

INTRODUCTION In a previous study, we identified the formation of cross-reactive autoantibodies that bound to bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a D-galactose-induced aging mouse model. AIM OF THE STUDY In this study, we investigated the effect of other reducing sugars (namely, glucose and fructose) on the formation of autoantibodies. The effects of concentration and route of administration on the ...

Studies were carried out by the grapevine berries sprayed with copper hydroxide (Kocide 3000) to assess its quality in terms of reducing sugars, non reducing sugars, total sugars and acidity. The total, reducing and non reducing sugars were higher in the grapevine berries sprayed with Copper hydroxide comparing with that of control plots. Fruit quality was improved in Copper hydroxide (Kocide 3...
