Characterizing sugarcane co-products and their biochars: effects on resulting properties and functionality
Last Updated: junio 9, 2025Solutions are needed for the utilization of both sugarcane bagasse and field residue as the largest sources by volume of fibrous co-products generated from harvesting and processing sugarcane. Successful conversion of these co-products into value-added materials requires full understanding of their properties and how they are affected by source, processing conditions and storage
Culture medium design and kinetics of single-cell protein production from Candida utilis
Last Updated: junio 9, 2025The utilization of vinasse, a by-product of bioethanol production, as a substrate for single-cell protein (SCP) production is a sustainable solution to environmental challenges and protein demand. This study aimed to design a culture medium using vinasse and sugarcane molasses to optimize SCP production by Candida utilis yeast.
Effect of heating on color and fermentable sugars in final molasses
Last Updated: junio 9, 2025Increased levels of colorants (particularly the melanoidins) produced by decomposition of sugars in sugar boiling via the so called Maillard reaction, have a negative effect on sugar quality and recovery. Additionally, higher molasses color was reported to lead to lower yields in ethanol fermentation
Measurement of higher heating value in cane bagasse using NIR spectroscopy in a sugar mill in southwestern Colombia
Last Updated: junio 9, 2025Traditionally, the higher heating value of any biomass (bagasse) is determined using bomb calorimetry. This process is lengthy and requires considerable maintenance of the equipment due to combustion reactions. Consequently, the development of a fast and accurate measurement technique would be a useful tool, saving time and resources.
Opportunities for the production of compressed biogas (CBG) in sugar and allied industries
Last Updated: junio 9, 2025Increasing consumption of fossil fuels and environmental concerns have led to increased use of CBG (compressed biogas) in the transport sector. CBG can play an important role in the diversification of the sugar industry product portfolio, creating increasing employment and generating additional revenue for sugar mills in India.
