The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of adding different levels of molasses (1-5%) on the silage quality, in vitro methane production and in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of pistachio (Pistachio vera) by-product and wheat straw mixture silages. For this purpose, silages were prepared with pistachio by-product (85%) and wheat straw (15%) without molasses (contr...

Two growth trials are reported. In the first (of 141 days) , 42 bulls of initially about 220 kg and 2 years of age were given: (A) chopped whole sugar cane ad libitum plus 300 g/d extracted soya bean meal; (B), © and (D) as (A), but with 100, 200 or 300 g molasses/urea (2.5%) per kg fresh cape mixed into the cane; (E) as (D) , but with 600 g soya/d; (F) , chopped whole cane plus 1 kg/d wheat br...

Blackstrap molasses was studied as an economical substitute for sucrose in the preparation of an extracting solution for removal of nematodes from soil by the flotation-sieving technique. The maximal number of nematodes extracted from soil was obtained with molasses solutions with specific gravity values in the range 1.000-1.073. Results of studies on the relation between size of soil sample an...

Sugarcane molasses is a rich source of antioxidant materials with peroxyl radical scavenging effects. To explore the potent antioxidant activity of sugarcane molasses against 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH)-induced peroxyl radicals, 7 methanolic fractions of sugarcane molasses (F1-F7) were separated via bioassay-guided fractionation and evaluated by oxygen radical absorbanc...

Orange peel molasses, a byproduct of juice production, contains high concentrations of phenols, including numerous flavanone and flavone glycosides, polymethoxylated flavones, hydroxycinnamates, and other miscellaneous phenolic glycosides and amines. Extensive fractionation of these phenols was achieved by adsorption, ion exchange, and size exclusion chromatography. Size exclusion chromatograph...

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the capability lactic acid bacteria (LAB) remove pathogens present in domestic wastewater, generated eco-touristic circuit Lomas de Lucumo (Lima, Peru). pH decrease used as an indicator elimination fecal coliform treated water. Experiments included 36 treatments, which consisted different mixtures sugar molasses and a inoculum (B-Lac) proportions 0, ...

BACKGROUND Sugar beet molasses is a viscous by-product of the processing of sugar beets into sugar. The molasses is known to contain sucrose and raffinose, a typical trisaccharide, with a well-established structure. Although sugar beet molasses contains various other oligosaccharides as well, the structures of those oligosaccharides have not been examined in detail. The purpose of this study wa...

Diets based on molasses as the principle source of energy for cattle are well established (Preston and Willis 1974). However, the use of molasses as an energy source for sheep, particularly under drought conditions, has not been studied extensively. The main purpose of the studies reported here was to measure the intake and production of sheep given diets containing a high proportion of molasse...
