Properties of Fiberboard from Sugarcane Bagasse Manufactured by the Conventional and Asplund Processes
Salahuddin, M., Samaniego, R., et.al.  1970.  Fiberboards were manufactured by the Conventional Rotary Digester process and Asplund Defibrator process. The physical and mechanical properties of the boards produced by the two processes were studied and compared. Properties of…
Production of Corrugating Medium from Sugarcane Bagasse
Consolacion, F.I., Samaniego, R., et.al.  1970.  Corrugating medium was produced by blending various proportions of sugarcane bagasse and waste paper pulp. The cold-soda process was employed in the pulping of the sugarcane bagasse. The corrugating medium produced has physical strength values exceeding the commercial…
Factors Affecting Enzymatic Starch Hydrolysis in Sugar Solutions
Smith, I.A.  1970.  Laboratory investigation of the hydrolysis of starch by bacterial and –amylase in both technical and pure sucrose solutions has been carried out. The influence of reaction time, brix, viscosity, starch concentration and enzyme dosage is represented in graphical form. Factors Affecting…
Enzyme Destarching of Cane Sugar
-----------------. 1970.  The practical application of Nervanase in destarching sugar is dependent upon the particular mill or refinery. Providing the conditions of temperature and pH are satisfactory and providing the starch has been gelatinized, then the enzyme can carry out its designed purpose of converting the starch to dextrin in a short…
Elemental Analysis of Soils and Sugar Products by Atomic Absorption and Flame Emission Spectrophotometer
Puyaoan, E.B., Puyaoan, T.T., et.al.  1970.  Analyses of Ca, Mg and K in soil by atomic absorption instrument and the “wet” chemical method of analysis were compared. Analyses of sugar and molasses solutions for Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn presented were only example of…
