BACKGROUND Pectin-rich wastes, such as citrus pulp and sugar beet pulp, are produced in considerable amounts by the juice and sugar industry and could be used as raw materials for biorefineries. One possible process in such biorefineries is the hydrolysis of these wastes and the subsequent production of ethanol. However, the ethanol-producing organism of choice, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is not...

this experiment was conducted to determine the ame, amen, tme and tmen of beet pulp fed to male ostriches at  their 90 d of age. different levels of beet pulp (0, 15, 30 and 40%) were fed through replacements in the basal diet. for a determination of ame and amen using marker method, beet pulp was replaced in the basal diet at 40%. a number of 16 vs. 8 ostrich chicks were employed in each of th...

cellulase production by the fungus trichoderma reesei was studied using sugar beet pulp (sbp) as a substrate. the subculture medium was a salt solution consisting of kh2po4, cacl2, etc. fungal cells were sub-cultured in an orbital shaker (180 rpm) at 30°c for 1-2 generations (two days for each generation) and were then used as an inoculum. exponential cells were inoculated into a medium contain...

twenty four multiparous holstein cows in their early stage of lactation with a mean of 59±20 dim and a mean of 615±40.5 kg of bw were employed in a complete randomized block design to evaluate the effects of different levels of sugar beet pulp in a partial replacement for alfalfa, the only source of forage in their previous diet (treat 1, 0% beet pulp and 35% alfalfa, treat 2 ,6% beet pulp and ...

sugar beet pulp is one of the sugar industries by-products which can be used for cellulase enzyme production, enzymatic saccharification, and alcohol production due to its high percentage of lingo-cellulosic content. trichoderma spp. is an important fungus that produces a wide range of cellulytic enzymes. in this study, cellulase enzyme was produced by placing sugar beet pulp in trichoderma fer...

This fuel ethanol study examined the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae inoculum size on solid-phase fermentation of fodder beet pulp. A 5% inoculum (wt/wt) resulted in rapid yeast and ethanol (9.1% [vol/vol]) production. Higher inocula showed no advantages. Lower inocula resulted in lowered final yeast populations and increased fermentation times.

1. The absorption of zinc in humans from composite meals, was determined by extrinsic labelling of the meals with 65Zn and measurement of the whole-body retention of the radioisotope. 2. Low-Zn (mean 25 mumol) chicken meals with 150 g white bread or 225 g potatoes, carrots, turnips, cabbage or green peas were studied. The effect of a beet-pulp-fibre preparation used as a breakfast cereal, in br...

The effect of time and pressure on the selective extraction of sugar beet pectin using steam pre-treatment on unprocessed Sugar Beet Pulp was evaluated using a design of experiments approach. This process gave the highest solubilisation of pectin oligomers at a relatively low pressure and longer time (5Bar, 24min), whilst leaving the majority of the cellulose fraction intact. This method of ste...

A repeated 4×4 Latin square design was conducted with eight ileal cannulated castrates to examine the effect of source of starch and fiber on nutrient balance and energy metabolism. Pigs were fed on one of the four experimental diets: Control diet (C) mainly based on cooked rice; and diets P, S and W with the inclusion of either raw potato starch, sugar beet pulp or wheat bran supplementation, ...

in process of sucrose determination in sugar beet, pulp analysis by polarometric method is done on the basis of fresh root weight .the volume of the juice of 26 grams of the pulp is considered 23 ml that with 177 ml of clarifying agent would be 200 ml. drought stress and dehydrated root reduce. the volume of the pulp extract of 23 ml. the objective of this experiment was to determine the proper...
