Marc The refuse matter remaining after pressing seeds, fruits, especially grapes, sugar beets, sugarcane, etc. 

Products and Uses Used as insecticide and nematocide (kills parasitic worms) on animal feed, bananas, beans, citms fruit, coffee, hops (dried), peanuts, pecans, potatoes, sorghum, soybeans, sugar beets, sugarcane, and sweet potatoes. 

Uses Soil insecticide used to control rootworms, wireworms, crickets and similar crop pests in vegetables, sorghum, ornamentals, cereals, maize, vines, olives, sugar beet, sugarcane, potatoes, groundnuts, tobacco, turf and fruit crops. 

Because there are several hundred minor use crops, the easiest way to distinguish between them and major crops is to list the major crops. Major crops include almonds, apples, barley, beans (dry and snap), canola, com (sweet and field), cotton, grapes, hay (alfalfa and other), oats, oranges, peanuts, pecans, popcorn, potatoes, rice, rye, sorghum, soybeans, sugar beets, sugarcane, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, turf, and wheat. 

Potential resources of xylans are by-products produced in forestry and the pulp and paper industries (forest chips, wood meal and shavings), where GX and AGX comprise 25-35% of the biomass as well as annual crops (straw, stalks, husk, hulls, bran, etc.), which consist of 25-50% AX, AGX, GAX, and CHX [4]. New results were reported for xylans isolated from flax fiber [16,68], abaca fiber [69], wheat straw [70,71], sugar beet pulp [21,72], sugarcane bagasse [73], rice straw [74], wheat bran [35,75], and jute bast fiber [18]. Recently, about 39% hemicelluloses were extracted from vetiver grasses [76]. 

Ironically, coffee does need relatively acidic soil, with pH between 5 and 6. Conifers and shmbs such as azaleas and rhododendrons thrive on soils with this acidity, as do tea, potatoes, rice, and rye. The vast majority of crop plants, including most vegetables, need soils just on the acidic side of neutral, pH between 6 and 7. Only a few crops—barley, sugar beets, cotton, and sugarcane—like soils on the mildly basic side, between pH 7 and 8, and only desert plants can cope with soils whose pH is greater than 8. 

Sugar (sucrose) is obtained from either sugar beets or sugarcane. Sugar beets are traditionally diffused with water to extract the sugar from the pulp. The sugar is then crystallized, mechanically separated, and washed to produce white sugar. 

Sugar made from either sugar beets or sugarcane is a perfectly acceptable product. However, the molasses produced from these crops is quite different molasses from sugar beets is an animal feed product, whereas molasses from sugarcane is marketed as a human food known as blackstrap molasses. 

Because of its relatively high degree of sweetness, fmctose has been the object of commercial production for decades. Eady attempts to isolate fmctose from either hydrolyzed sucrose or hydrolyzed fmctose polymers, eg, inulin (Jerusalem artichoke), did not prove economically competitive against the very low cost for sucrose processed from sugarcane or sugar beets. 

Glycolic acid (or hydroxyacetic acid C2H403 MW = 76.05) is the smallest a-hy-droxy acid (Fig. 3.5.2). In its pure form, glycolic acid is a colorless, crystalline solid. It is very soluble in water (0.1 g/ml), alcohols, acetone, and ethyl acetate. Glycolic acid is isolated from sugarcane, sugar beets, and unripe grapes.
