Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMorphological Characterization and Variation in the Total Content of Reducing Sugars in Wild Populations of Agave angustifolia HawMartin Esqueda, Aldo Gutierrez, Guadalupe Palomino et al.Problem statement: Bacanora, a spirit, is distilled from wild populations of Agave angustifolia Haw. Loss of biodiversity must be taken into account when proposing sustainable management actions for this resource. In this study we identified the morphological variants of this species, as well as the weight and Total Content of Reducing Sugars (TRS) in the stem of the agave. Approach: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2011 · 8,553 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Effect of Heat or Heat-Xylose Processing on Nitrogen Fractions and in Situ/In Vitro Ruminal and Post-Ruminal Protein Disappearance of Guar MealHossein Jahani-Azizabadi, Mohsen Danesh Mesgaran, Ali Reza Vakili et al.Problem statement: Guar meal is a by-product consisting of hull and germ and is mostly used as a protein source in poultry and ruminant rations. The aim was to determine the effect of heat or heat-xylose processing on nitrogen fractions, in situ ruminal degradation parameters and in situ/in vitro ruminal and post-ruminal disappearance of guar meal. Approach: Samples were intact … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2010 · 8,153 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Fructan Content from Stem Juices of Different Varieties of Agave Atrovirens, Traditionally Used for the Production of Pulque. Production of a Sweetening Syrup by Chemical and Enzymatic ProcessingKaren Gott-Bravo, Arnulfo Pluma-Pluma, Victor Eric López-López et al.Agave atrovirens, the hardiest species of Agave in Mexico, thrives in tough, infertile soils and extreme temperatures across a wide range of altitudes, particularly in impoverished rural areas of Central and Northern Mexico. Its potential for agroindustrial use could offer a pathway to social and economic prosperity for many communities. Traditionally, A. atrovirens is tapped for its sap, known as … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2025 · 7,670 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Xylitol from Agricultural Waste by Enzymatic MethodsMarie K. Walsh, Hussein Fadhil Khliaf, Khalida A. ShakirEnzyme catalyzed production of xylose from autoclaved and non-autoclaved wheat straw was conducted followed by bioconversion of xylose to xylitol using a Crude preparation of Xylose Reductase (CXR) from Candida guillermondii. Ground wheat straw (autoclaved and non autoclaved) was treated at 40 and 50°C for up to 9 h at pH 4.5 with various concentrations of xylanase (12.4 to 37.2 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2018 · 9,655 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrowave Assisted Bioethanol Production from Sago Starch by Co-Culturing of Ragi Tapai and Saccharomyces CerevisiaeN. Saifuddin, Refal HussainProblem statement: Environmental issues such as global warming and recent events throughout the world, including the shortage of petroleum crude oil, the sharp increase in the cost of oil and the political instability of some crude oil producing countries, have demonstrated the vulnerability of the present sources for liquid fuel. These situations have created great demand for ethanol from fermentation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,898 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCellulolytic Enzymes Production by Solid State Culture Using Pecan Nut Shell as Substrate and SupportMiguel A. Medina-Morales, José L. Martínez-Hernández, Heliodoro de la Garza, Cristóbal Noé AguilarProblem Statement: Great interest in the use of lignocellulosic biomass is increasing in order to diminish the accumulation of residues, such as pecan nut shells. One of the alternatives is the fungal degradation of these residues. Approach: The capacity of Trichoderma (coded as T1, T2 and T3) strains to produce cellulase and xylonite was evaluated. Results: Pecan nut shell fibers … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,023 accessesView PDF Cite
