The performance of ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with molecular weight cut off (MWCO) of 1000 and 3500 Da in clarifying sugar cane juice was investigated, as well as the performance of a nanofiltration (NF) membrane with MWCO of 200 Da and a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane in concentrating sugar cane juice. For both cases the sugar cane juice had been limed and partially clarified. The UF membranes were found to be effective at clarifying the sugar cane juice in terms of purity rise and reduction in turbidity, colour, starch and protein. A purity rise of approximately 6 was achieved by both UF membranes at trans-membrane pressures (TMP) from 15 to 25 bar. However, Brix reduction in the permeate was between 14.5 and 41.85% and 12.11 and 26.52% for 1000 Da and 3500 Da membranes respectively. For the 200 Da and RO membranes the Brix in the concentrate was increased from 7.65 to 12.3 after 3 hours of operation for the 200 Da membrane at a TMP of 10 bar, whilst the Brix in the concentrate was increased from 15.65 to 27.6 after 3 hours of operation for the RO membrane at a TMP of 35 bar. Overall, UF membranes were found to be unsuitable for clarification of sugar cane juice since significant amount of Brix is reduced in the permeate, whilst RO membranes were found to be effective for concentration of sugar cane juice.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a milling by-product diet and two sugar cane diets on the local Creole pig breed (CR). A total of 48 CR pigs (24 females and 24 castrated males) were randomly assigned to four different groups of 12 animals. Pigs were allotted to one of 4 dietary treatments: fed with a control soya-bean meal-corn diet containing 19.1% crude protein (CP) and 15.4 MJ DE/kg (diet 1), with an experimental milling by-product diet (soya-bean meal and wheat by-products) containing 19.4% CP and 13.0 MJ DE/kg (diet 2), with ground cane stalks (GCS) or with fresh sugar cane juice (SCJ). Both GCS and SCJ were supplemented with soya-bean meal complement (400 g/d of a 48.7% CP and 16.1 MJ DE/kg diet) in order to obtain diets 3 and 4, respectively. Pigs were fed close to ad libitum level and had free access to water. All the pigs were slaughtered at 65 kg BW. Between 30 and 65 kg BW, growth performance was significantly (p<0.001) affected by dietary treatments: average daily BW gain was 657, 530, 546 and 200 g/d for diets 1, 2, 4, and 3, respectively. Average daily DM intake was 1.8, 1.9, 2.5 and 1.4 kg/d for diets 1, 2, 4, and 3, respectively. Fat cuts (backfat+leaf fat) and backfat thickness were significantly lower on diet 3 than for other treatments (127 vs. 192, 166 g/kg of left half-carcass weight and 24.6 vs. 39.0, 35.3 mm for diet 3 vs. diets 1 and 4, and diet 2, respectively; p<0.001). The dressing weight was significantly lower on diets 2 (82.7 vs. 84.0%; p<0.001). The entire empty digestive tract (DT) weight was higher on diet 2 (73.1 vs. 66.7 g/kg empty BW). However, stomach and large intestine were more developed on diet 3: 12.8 vs. 9.3 g/100 g empty DT (p<0.001) and 26.4 vs. 23.8 g/100 g empty DT (p<0.05), respectively. In conclusion, this study suggests the CR pig has the ability to reach rather good growth and carcass performance with a well-formulated sugar cane meal and/or with a milling by-product diet refined according to its low requirements.

The sole use of the glucanhydrolase (exhibiting both dextranase and amylase activities) from Lipomyces starkeyi hydrolyzed the soluble polysaccharides in sugar syrup more efficiently than a mixed treatment using both commercial dextranase and amylase. The glucanhydrolase treatment of stale sugar cane juice resulted in a yield of square, light-colored sugar crystals.

외국으로부터 수집한 당과작물의 생육특성을 조사하여 생물에너지 자원으로 이용 가능성을 검토하고자 1986～1988년에 걸쳐 경남 진주에서 실시한 시험결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 단수수는 1988년 5월 20일 파종에서 공시품종들의 파종으로부터 출수까지의 일수는 70～l18일 이었다. 경의 당도는 6.0～l4.0%이었고, 생체중은 10a당 4～15t이었다. s-1은 재배기간 2회까지 예취가 가능하였다. 2. 사탕무는 수확까지 생엽을 유지하였고, 근중은 3.542～6,397kg/10a이었으며, 근의 당도는 9.2 ～ 19.8%이었다 3. 사방수수는 10월하순까지 생장을 계속하였고, 그 후는 생장이 정지되었다. 경의 당도는 13.2 ～ 16.1%이었다 4. 단수수의 파종기별 생육량은 조파할수록 많았고, 경의 당도도 높았다 5. 단수수의 착즙액으로 부터 alcohol 수득량은 10a당 186$\ell$까지 얻을 수 있었다.

제주도산 온주밀감을 이용한 투명하고 방향성이 있는 과실주를 생산하기 위하여 원료의 화학분석과 처리방법, 우수균주의 선발, 발효중의 당의 변화, 발효주의 성분과 관능검사를 실시하였다. 원료 감귤의 껍질 부분은 25.6%였으며, 100 메쉬를 통과한 압착쥬스의 비율은 55.9%였다. 쥬스 중에는 총당 함량은 8.85%, 총산 함량은 1.43%, 휘발산 함량이 0.065%였다. 발효력시험, 과실주의 화학분석 및 관능검사를 통하여 Saccharomyces cerevisiae IAM 4274를 우수균주로 선정하였으며, 압착쥬스에 가당하여 $24^{\circ}\;Brix$로 조절한 다음 $20^{\circ}C$에서 발효를 시켰다. 일주일간의 주발효기간이 경과한 후 부유물이 서서히 침전하기 시작하였으며, 한달 후 투명한 과실주가 얻어졌다. 발효전에 효소를 처리한 경우는 발효액이 매우 투명하였고, 부유물의 침전이 빨리 일어나 과실주의 수율이 향상되었다. 발효주의 화학분석 결과 총가용성 고형물량은 $8^{\circ}\;Brix$였으며, 주정농도는 $13.3{\sim}14.4%$였고, 총산함량은 $0.78{\sim}1.11%$, 엑스분은 $2.25{\sim}3.29%$였다. 관능검사 결과 색, 향기 및 맛이 우수하여 상품성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.
