The microwave pretreatment of pineapple peel for ethanol production was optimized by RSM (Response surface methodology). Three variables, which were studied, were peel to water ratio (100-160 g/L), microwave power (90-900 watt) and time (5-20 min). The optimal condition for reducing sugar production was 132 g/L peel to water ratio, 90 watt for 12 min that provide the 10.4 g/L of highest content. For total sugar production was 160 g/L ratio, 90 watt for 20 min that gave the optimum content of 579.9 g/L. This microwave pretreatment without a reagent could achieve the satisfied sugar content for ethanol fermentation that led to save time and energy consumption.

Rice straw (RS) is a by-product from rice production process. It is rich in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. RS hemicellulose mainly composes of arabinoxylan (AX). This research aimed to investigate the potential of microwave-pretreatment in AX extraction from RS and substrate to produce xylooligosaccharides (XOS) via enzymatic hydrolysis. The extractive-free RS was pretreated by microwave process at 160°C for 5-15 min, then the AX was extracted with 4% sodium hydroxide. The total sugar and reducing sugar content of AX exhibited that increasing microwave-pretreatment time increased the yield of AX. The highest AX content was found at 160°C for 10 min as 7.73%, reducing sugar content of 11.89 mg/g, and total sugar of 165.85 mg/g. The crude AX obtained by microwave-pretreatment was then used as a substrate for XOS production by two commercial xylanases of Pentopan mono BG (BG) and Ultraflo Max (UM), at the enzyme concentration of 50-300 U/g AX (50°C, pH 6.0) for 24 h.The reducing sugar content and sugar profiles were monitored by DNS assay,and thin layer chromatography (TLC) which revealed that BG 50 U/g at 12 h andUM 50 U/g at 24 h showed the promising reducing sugar of 16.4 and 25.44 mg/g,respectively. The composition of XOS derived from RS (RS-XOS) prepared by BGwas xylobiose (X2), xylotriose (X3), xylotretraose (X4), and xylopentaose (X5)while by UM was xylobiose (X2), xylotriose (X3) and xylotretraose (X5). Moreover,XOS produced by BG contained very low amount of xylose (X1). In addition, theRS-XOS could the growth of Lactobacillus brevis greater than commercial XOS.

The performance of 34 new sugarcane varieties was evaluated in a plant crop and two ratoons at two sites in southwestern Puerto Rico. At Bonilla farm in Cabo Rojo the five leading varieties were PR 65-413, PR 65-339, PR 62-739, UCW 53-69, and PR 980. PR 980, which is the leading commercial variety of the Cabo Rojo area, ranked fifth in total sugar production per acre. PR 65-413 and PR 65-339 have the greatest potential as commercial varieties for the Cabo Rojo area, since they are high sugar yielders and suited to mechanization. In the humid valley of Central Eureka in Hormigueros, the most outstanding varieties were PR 1152, PR 61-902, PR 1140, CP 52-43, and NCo 310. PR 1152 is high in sugar content and cane tonnage production, and is suitable for mechanized harvesting. PR 1140 and PR 61-902 also had a good sucrose content, but their performance in subsequent crops was poor. NCo 310 and UCW 53-69 are not suitable for mechanized harvesting.

Bioethanol is widely used as renewable resource due to its safe to produce and environmentally friendly. However, knowledge on ethanol production from pineapple peel juice (Pattawia spp) is far from sufficient. In this work, pineapple peel juice (initial pH at 5) was fermented at various yeast contents (1, 3 and 5% by wt.) and fermentation times (3, 5 and 7 days) in order to investigate ethanol production characteristics. Yeast, Sacchromyces cerevisiae was grown on pineapple peel juice. The squeezed juice contained 11% of total sugar and 5% of reducing sugar. The results indicated that the optimum ethanol production was yeast contents of 5% by wt. and fermentation times of 5 days which gave the ethanol production of 9.08g/l. The ethanol at a higher yeast content also had a higher ethanol concentration.

Nectar Replenishment

Background and aims – Flowers of Jaltomata quipuscoae (Solanaceae) secrete blood-red nectar that serves as an energy reward and possible attractant to pollinators. The purposes of this study were to determine whether simulated pollinator visits (manual removal of nectar) stimulates replenishment of nectar, and report the pattern of nectar presentation during the lifespan of the flower. Methods – For the nectar replenishment experiments flowers were paired: each pair of flowers was selected to be on the same plant and at the same developmental stage. From all 62 flowers nectar was removed and discarded (not measured) at time zero. Then, over a period of eight hours, the nectar of one flower was measured four times, i.e., every two hours, while nectar of the paired control flower was measured only at the end of the eight-hour period. In the nectar dynamics experiment five sets of flowers received different treatments: flowers were unmanipulated for zero, one, two, three or four days and then nectar was removed once every day. The volume of nectar produced and concentration of sugar in the nectar were recorded at each extraction for both studies.Key results – In the nectar replenishment study significantly higher nectar volume and consequently significantly higher total sugar content was present in the experimental nectar-extracted flowers. In the nectar dynamics study, nectar was produced starting on day one or two, continuously through the life of the open flowers until one or two days before the corolla senesced. Delay of nectar removal from different flower sets for zero, one, two, three or four days resulted in a linear increase in nectar volume and total nectar sugar production, and had little or no effect on the cumulative (life of the flower) nectar production. Floral longevity, seven to ten days, was not affected by a single removal of nectar each day.Conclusions – The floral nectary of J. quipuscoae responded to nectar removal by secreting more nectar, and thus more total sugar (not a higher concentration of sugar) than was secreted by control flowers. In flowers from which nectar was not removed, nectar volume and thus total sugar secreted continued to accumulate linearly, suggesting that reabsorption of nectar either does not occur or is slow relative to the rate of secretion. The more we (or pollinators) take, the more the flowers make: the volume of nectar and sugar production increase if nectar is removed frequently but not if nectar is removed infrequently.

The purpose of this reseach was 1) to determine the effect of temperature and acid type on hydrolysis of taro yam starch on the characteristics of glucose, 2) to determine the exact temperature and type of acid in taro starch hydrolysis which produced the best glucose characteristics. This reseach uses Randomized Block Design of factorial pattern.. The first factor is the hydrolysis temperature of taro yam starch at temperatures of 80°C, 90°C and 100°C. The second factor is the acids type of HNO3, H2SO4 and HCl, each with 7% acid concentration. Each treatment is grouped into 2 based on the implementation time. The variables observed were reduction in sugar content, total sugar, dekstrose equivalent (DE), total dissolved solids and clarity. The results showed that the temperature treatment and acid type had a very significant effect (P<0,01) on reducing sugar content, total sugar and hydrolyzed dectrose equivalent (DE) values. Temperature treatment has a significant effect on total dissolved solids and does not significantly affect clarity. The treatment of acid types has significant effect on total dissolved solids and clarity. Temperature treatment and type of acid interact with reducing sugar content, total sugar, and DE values, do not interact with total dissolved solids and clarity. The highest yield was obtained by reducing sugar content of 3,06%, total sugar 5,64% and DE value of 54,24% in HCl at 100°C. The total dissolved solids in H2SO4 and HCl at 100°C were 5,15°Brix and the clarity of HCl at 100°C was 0,02. The best glucose characteristics at HCl was 90°C which was not significantly different from HCl at 100°C. Keywords: sugar, hydrolysis, taro yam, starch, acid, glucose

This research investigated effect of fermentation time and cereal type on the total reducing sugar (TRS), total sugar (TSS), and total free amino acid (TFA) during the production of ogi. The result showed that TFA generally increased with increase in fermentation time (7.916 – 17.596 mg/g). Maize, acha and sorghum ogi had the lowest total reducing sugar (TRS) at 0 h (16.927glucose mg/g), 12 h (16.655 glucose mg/g) and 48 h (18.212 glucose mg/g) respectively and TSS was lowest in acha ogi from 12 h to 48 h (33.191 - 34.370 glucose mg/g). Principal component analysis and Agglomerative hierarchical clustering were used to evaluate the variability in sugar and amino acid contents and ranked the contributions of the variables. The factors were divided into four principal components with cumulative variance contribution rate of 87.47%. The result showed that acha and sorghum ogi had lower sugar content than maize ogi during fermentation. This research suggested that maize, acha and sorghum can be used in the production of cereal based ogi for weaning food at 48 h due to high free amino acid content, and also advanced the use of acha in production of ogi for diabetic patients due to its low total sugar content.

Abstract Red dragon fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis) is a famous fruit because of its high nutritional content. Although the product diversification of red dragon fruit is quite a lot, however, this product has limited information as a syrup product. The evaporation process for making syrup at the traditional level is usually carried out at high temperatures which results in the high destruction of nutritional content and reduces the quality of syrup. The study of the evaporation process at low temperature and low pressure using a double jacket vacuum evaporator for manufacturing red dragon fruit syrup was conducted in this research in order to improve product quality. The aims of this study are to evaluate the effect of temperature process and vacuum pressure on the quality of red dragon fruit (H.costaricensis) syrup using a double jacket vacuum evaporator and to know the optimum temperature process and vacuum pressure to producing red dragon fruit sirup with higher content of vitamin C. The double jacket evaporator operates at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure so that there were 9 treatment combinations. The result showed the temperature gave a highly significant effect, especially on vitamin C. It also gave on moisture content and reducing sugar. The temperature gave no significant effect on total sugar content. Whereas, the pressure gave a significant on moisture content, but not gave a significant on vitamin C, reducing sugar content and total sugar content. However, the best treatment for optimum vitamin C is 50 0C/-60 cmHg with 8.75 mg/100 ml.

Sel-roti is a deep-fat fried, puffed, circular spongy doughnut like indigenous,non- alcoholic fermented cereal product of Nepal. A study was conducted to study the effect of batter ageing on physiochemical and microbial changes and its impact on sensory quality of Sel-roti.Ten samples of batters were aged for 9 h at 3 h interval at temperatures30°C, 40°C and 50°C.After ageing, acidity as lactic acid, reducing sugar and total sugar contents of the batter had increased significantly (P<0.05). The total sugar content of the batter started to decrease after 6 h of ageing. During the ageing period of 3 hour bulk density of products were decreased significantly (p<0.05) for all temperatures of ageing but after 3 hours of ageing it was increased slightly for 40°C. Fat uptake of sel-rotifound to decrease as ageing proceeds. Lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and mold co-existed in sel-rotibatter. LAB and yeast count at the end of 9 hour of aging was higher at 30°C than at 40°C. LAB and yeast count at 50°C was markedly decreased during 9 hour of ageing of batter. Mold count in the samples of batter during aging was decreased at all temperatures. Among study time and temperature of ageing quality of sel-roti prepared from batter aged at 30°C for 6 hour was found to be good in terms of sensory quality and cost effectiveness.  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jfstn.v8i0.11721 J.

Nectar sugar composition and temporal patterns of nectar sugar production were examined in oilseed summer rape (Brassica napus L. ssp. oleifera (Metzg.)) from six open-pollinated, eight pol cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) hybrid and seven dominant self-incompatible (SI) hybrid cultivars at three field plot sites in Manitoba. The total sugar content of nectar samples was measured by the Dreywood anthrone reaction for total carbohydrate, and simple sugar composition was determined using an enzymatic bioanalysis for D-glucose, D-fructose and sucrose. Hybrid and open-pollinated cultivar flowers had similar sugar content. Mean total sugar content per flower also did not vary among hybrid breeding systems when compared within individual weeks of the bloom period or within daily sampling periods. However, for all cultivars, total nectar sugar content per flower was lower during the 08:00 and 11:00 h sampling periods and increased to maximum levels during the 14:00 and 16:00 h sampling periods. Significant differences in nectar sugar content were also found in relation to the bloom phenology of the cultivars. Cultivars produced the greatest amount of sugar per flower during the first 2 wk of the bloom period, then sugar production decreased in the third and fourth weeks. Nectar sugar ratios from all cultivars averaged approximately 1:1 glucose:fructose. Nectar glucose content among cultivars was similar but, among breeding systems, CMS cultivars tended to have lower amounts of glucose than SI or open-pollinated cultivars. Selecting for higher total sugar content may produce nectars more attractive to foraging honeybees (Apis mellifera L.), thereby ensuring adequate pollination of hybrid parental lines and F1 hybrid plants. Selecting for lower nectar glucose will produce honeys with more desirable granulation characteristics. Overall, the production and quality of nectar sugar in oilseed rape hybrids are similar to those of open-pollinated cultivars, and are not likely to adversely affect the pollinating activities of honeybees or their potential for honey production. Key words: oilseed summer rape, Brassica napus, honeybees, Apis mellifera, nectar, simple sugars
