Sugar Source

<p class="BodyAbstract">Rice bran is one among many agricultural by-products containing ~50-60 wt.% of carbohydrate. The carbohydrate is a prominent sugar source for bioethanol production. The objective of this research was to study bioethanol production from rice bran by acid and enzymatic treatment. The variations of acid used were dilute hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid, while variations of enzyme used were amylolytic and cellulolytic enzyme. Ethanol production of acid-hydrolyzed rice bran was 24.95±1.61% (v/v) by hydrochloric acid and 29.57±2.04% (v/v) by sulphuric acid. Ethanol produced by enzymatic hydrolysis was quite low i.e. 6.7±0.04%, and 8.86±0.29% (v/v) for amylolytic and cellulolytic hydrolysate, respectively.</p><p class="BodyAbstract"> </p><p>Keywords: Bioethanol, rice bran, acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis</p>

Parthenium Weed

Parthenium hysterophorus Linn. is one of the most aggressive, invasive weeds threatening natural and agricultural ecosystems in Nepal. Leaf feeding beetle, Zygogramma bicolorata Pallister (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is regarded as a potential candidate for biological control of Parthenium weed. Considering the fact effectiveness of Z. bicolorata against P. hysterophorus was evaluted in Nepal. Z. bicolorata caused 98.25 % defoliation of P. hysterophorus reducing 38.88 % plant height, 27.29 % plant width, 26.25 % root length, 12.33 % leaves, 40.58 % shoot biomass and 36.59 % root biomass in the period of 90 days. The flower production and soil seed bank were reduced by 50.22 % and 40.29 %, respectively. Z. bicolorata was an efficient bio-control agent with a significant negative effect on the vegetative and reproductive performance of the noxious weed P. hysterophorus.

Changes in poplar (Populus trichocarpa) wood porous structure after liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of applying different hydrothermal pretreatment conditions on the porous structure of poplar wood. Porosity is recognised as an important factor considering efficiency of an enzymatic hydrolysis as a step of bioethanol production. Native poplar wood as well as solid fractions after pretreatment performed at different temperatures (160 °C, 175 °C and 190 °C) were analysed. Porous structure was examined with an inverse size-exclusion chromatography (ISEC) method. Results indicated a significant development of the porous structure of the biomass with increasing porosity along with the growing temperature of the LHW process. The temperature of 190 °C was chosen as the most promising condition of poplar wood LHW pretreatment in terms of the efficiency of the subsequent steps of bioethanol production. The obtained results were consistent with the previous experimental data procured during analysis of the LHW pretreated poplar wood and its subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis yield.
