Extrusion is a cost effective manufacturing process. Extrusion is popularly used in large scale production of food, plastics and composite materials. Most widely used thermoplastics are processed by extrusion method. Many biopolymers and their composite materials with petroleum-based polymers can also be extruded. These include pectin/starch/poly(vinyl alcohol) (Fishman et al. 2004), poly(lactic acid)/sugar beet pulp (Liu et al. 2005c), and starch/poly(hydroxyl ester ether) (Otey et al. 1980), etc. In this study, composite films of pectin, soybean flour protein and an edible synthetic hydrocolloid, poly(ethylene oxide), were extruded using a twin-screw extruder, palletized and then processed into films by compression molding process or blown film extrusion. The films were analyzed for mechanical and structural properties, as well as antimicrobial activity.

The ProStor and Ferm-KM-1 complex probiotic preparations based on solid-state fermentation of beet pulp with a probiotic association (three strains of Bacillus subtillis. Bacillus licheniformis, a complex of lactic acid bacteria) have been developed. A Cellulomonas microorganism has been additionally introduced to the Perm KM-1 probiotics composition. Some fish mixed feed formulations with use of the preparations have been developed. In experiments, the efficiency of new mixed fodders for the young of carp and sturgeon has been demonstrated.

A total of 196 composite milk samples from seven Holstein cows have been analyzed (20). The samples have been collected for 28 days, consecutively, beginning on the seventh day after calving. Cows were fed a ration containing corn silage, Timothy hay, commercial concentrate mixture (corn, barley, alfalfa meal, beet pulp, and CaCOs), trace minerals, and vitamins premix, and soybean meal provided 48% of total CP of the diet. The average BW of the cows was 552 kg. Animals were fed twice daily ad libitum and always had access to drinking water. Three of the examined cows had been healthy, with SCC lower than 137,000 cells/ml. One cow had been mastitic during the entire experimental period—the measured SCC varied from 204,000 to 11,876,000 cells/ml. Three cows had mastitic and healthy periods (SCC between 80,000 and 4,737,000 cells/ml). 

The composition of the copolymer is controlled through the ratio of feedstocks used glucose or sucrose (from sugar cane, sugar beets, or starch hydrolysates) can be used as substrates for butyrate propionic acid (eg, from the fermentation of wood pulp waste) can be used for valerate. 

The chemical composition of pulp did only vary little between the two beet varieties. However, the top fraction contained significantly more ash (150 vs. 34 g/kg DM), crude protein (175 vs. 53 g/ kg DM)> and crude fibre (174 vs. 63 g/kg DM), crude fat (24 vs. 2 g/kg DM), starch (34 vs. 15 g/ kg DM) and less total sugars (105 vs. 721 g/kg DM) compared with the root fractions. Data were analyzed using generalized linear models including pulp fraction, variety and their interaction term.
