Background: Sugarcane is widely consumed by people of the tropics and subtropics. Antioxidants in concentrated sugarcane extracts extracted from sugarcane products using resins are highly stable, and their antioxidant activity is not significantly reduced by prolonged heating or clarification. Methods and Results: This study investigated the extraction processing and evaluated the antioxidant a...

Abstract Sugarcane is one of the important plantation commodities that widely cultivated in Indonesia as a raw material for sugar industry. One type land commonly used sugarcane cultivation sandy soil, however, this soil has shortcomings due to nutrients availability which affects productivity sugarcane. This study aims determine limiting factor through Leaf Sampling Unit (LSU) analysis. Foliar...

Four topics in modern population biology, namely, genetic architecture, stability, diversity and allozyme flexibility, are discussed in relation to sugarcane breeding. It is argued that research on the following points is likely to improve sugarcane breeding: 1) Repeated cycles of intercrossing and selection of different modes can be specifically designed to elucidate the genetic architecture o...

The objective of this study was to assess the functional response of microbial communities to sulfur amendment in calcareous organic soils of the Everglades Agricultural Area in south Florida. Soils under sugarcane cultivation were amended with elemental S at four rates up to 448 kg S ha to decrease pH and enhance nutrient availability. Soil samples were collected 2, 6, 9, and 13 months after S...

L(+)-LACTIC ACID is a commonly occurring organic acid. It is widely used in the food and food-related industries, and has the potential to be used for the production of biodegradable polymers, solvents and oxygenated chemicals. Lactic acid can be produced by both bacteria and fungi, however it is currently produced from sugar-containing materials by bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Lactococcu...

Golden jackals are locally common in Bangladesh despite intensive cultivation and high human densities. We studied the relative importance of seasonal flooding, rodent prey-base, and daytime cover on the occurrence of golden jackals in the two major agro-ecosystems in Bangladesh, one with annual monsoon flooding and the other without. Jackals were less common throughout the year where floodwate...

Agroforestry systems are indicated as an alternative for sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) cultivation in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil, however there are not many field experiments on plant performance under these conditions in the world. The objective of this work was to assess crop yield and partitioning in a sugarcanerubber (Hevea brasiliensis) interface in on-farm conditions. The availability of ...

sugarcane mite, oligonychus sacchari mcgregor, is one of the most important pests of sugarcane plant in khuzestan province, southwest of iran. during a two-year study (2007-2008), the biology of the sugarcane mite, o. sacchari, was investigated on three commercial varieties cp48-103, cp57-614 and cp69-1062 under laboratory conditions (temperature 30±1° c, rh% 60±5 and a photoperiod of 16:8 (l:d...
