CARBOHYDRATE CROPS AS A RENEWABLE RESOURCE FOR FUELS PRODUCTION VOLUME III:JUICE PRESERVATION

摘要

The objective of this study was to evaluate a process to preserve sugar crop juices that was suggested by Battelle Columbus Division. The process is energy conserving in that concentrated sugar solutions are produced with little evaporation of water. A preliminary investigation was conducted of polysaccharide hydrolysis as a means for preserving mixed sugar solutions obtained from crops such as sweet sorghum. Four subtasks have been addressed during this report period:I. Concentration of Pure Sugar Solutions by Hydrolysis of Purified Starch;II. Concentration of Genuine Sugar Crop Juice by Hydrolysis of Purified Starch;III. Concentration of Pure Sugar Solutions by Hydrolysis of Geniune Biomass Starch;and IV. Concen¬tration of Pure Sugar Solutions by Hydrolysis of Cellulosic Materials.
