Sugarcane molasses

The most studied system for agricultural waste recycling is their bioconversion into fiiels [1], such as ethanol production from sugarcane molasses, citrus peels [2] and whey [3],... 

Acrolein has been detected in effluent water streams from industrial and municipal sources. Municipal effluents from Dayton, Ohio, for example, contained between 20 and 200 pg acrolein/L in 6 of 11 analyzed samples (USEPA 1980 Beauchamp et al. 1985). Acrolein is also a component of many foods, and processing may increase the acrolein content (USEPA 1980). Acrolein has been identified in raw turkey, potatoes, onions, coffee grounds, raw cocoa beans, alcoholic beverages, hops (USEPA 1980), white bread, sugarcane molasses, souring salted pork, and cooked bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) (Beauchamp et al. 1985). 

Many aspects related to optimization of the ethanol production process have been addressed in previous works. A key to the optimization of a process is a thorough understanding of the system s dynamics, which can be obtained using an accurate model of the process. Atala et al. (1) developed a mathematical model for the alcoholic fermentation based on fundamental mass balances. The kinetic parameters were determined from experimental data and were described as functions of the temperature. The experiments were conducted with high biomass concentration and sugarcane molasses as substrate to simulate the real conditions in industrial units.

Products and Uses A fungicide, herbicide, weed killer, and defoliant that controls fruit dropping. It is used on barley (milled fractions, except flour), oats (milled fractions, except flour), potable water, rye (milled fractions), sugarcane bagasse, sugarcane molasses, and wheat (milled fractions, except flour).

Oleivera et al. reported PHB production by R. eutropha using agro-industrial residues. The PHB productivity and content were 4.9mg/g medium in 60 h and 39%, respectively. Production was carried out using soy cake alone or supplemented with sugarcane molasses. The results obtained showed that the biopolymer obtained by SSF has similar properties as commercial PHB, except for the higher molar mass and the... 

Feed Preparation Ethanol can be produced from a wide range of feedstock. These include sugar-based (cane and beet molasses, cane juice), starch-based (corn, wheat, cassava, rice, barley) and cellulosic (crop residues, sugarcane bagasse, wood, municipal solid wastes) materials. Indian distilleries almost exclusively use sugarcane molasses. Overall, nearly 61% of the world ethanol production is from sugar crops (Berg, 2004). 

Other PHAscl producing strains are Pseudomonas fluorescens, Gamma proteobacterium and Haloferax mediterranei, among others. Although they present interesting results in terms of carbon source used, such as sugarcane molasses or vinasse, the productivity, PHA content in cells and yield on carbon sources are often much lower than those reported for the Cupriavidus genus (Table 2.2). 

Traditionally, amino acid production by C. glutamicum is based on molasses or on starch hydrolysates. These substrates have competing uses in human nutrition. Sugar beet or sugarcane molasses are used mainly in Europe, South America, and Asia [113]. Molasses contains between 40% and 47% sugar, primarily sucrose, but also glucose and fructose that are present up to 12% in raw molasses. 

Molasses, a by-product from sugar refinery, also can be a good alternative to glucose in promoting microalgal lipid accumulation. Vidotti et al. (2014) tested the hydrolyzed sugarcane molasses with two microalgal strains, and this substrate...

Initially sugars were used extensively for the production of lA. However, using sugars as a carbon source is very expensive for industrial levels of production, which demand economically feasible substrates, such as starch, molasses, wood, or corn syrup hydrolyzates and other combinations (Klement et al., 2012 Klement and Biichs, 2013 Sieker et al., 2012). Nevertheless, beet or sugarcane molasses are the most commonly used carbon sources (Nubel and Ratajak, 1964), which are pretreated by ion exchange or ferrocyanide and subsequently used for fermentation (Bath and Schweiger, 1963). Apart from these, other varieties of...
