Ensiling of sugar kelp biomass for biorefining

Biomass and Bioenergy, 2021
Seaweeds are generally harvested at certain seasons to obtain optimal yield and quality for specific purposes. Year-round biorefining of seaweed, therefore, requires storage of the biomass from harvest to processing. We investigated ensiling as a method for preserving seaweed biomass for subsequent biorefinery.

ENSILING OF POTATO VINES

Transactions of the ASAE, 1999
Potato vines are a potential feed for cattle if the vines can be preserved. The objectives of this study were primarily to study alternative methods to preserve potato vines by ensiling and determine the effects of soil contamination on ensiling. In experiment 1, vines from four potato varieties were harvested individually with a flail chopper set at

Engineering aspects of ensiling

Biochemical Engineering Journal, 2003
Abstract Ensiling is a preservation method for moist forage crops, based on a lactic acid solid-state fermentation. Air is detrimental to silage because it enables the reactivation of detrimental aerobic microorganisms. The present review describes some of the major engineering and physical aspects of ensiling—silo types and the ensiling process—step

The presence of Acetobacter sp. in ensiled forage crops and ensiled industrial byproducts.

Mededelingen (Rijksuniversiteit te Gent. Fakulteit van de Landbouwkundige en Toegepaste Biologische Wetenschappen), 2001
The presence of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) in whole crop maize silage, whole crop wheat silage, pressed sugar beet pulp silage, grass silage and brewer's grains silage was investigated. AAB could be isolated from whole crop maize silage, whole crop wheat silage and pressed sugar beet pulp silage, but could not be detected in grass silage (> 100 silo's ...

Yeasts and fungi occurring in ensiled whole-crop maize and other ensiled vegetable crops

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1990
The yeast flora of whole-crop maize ensiled for two weeks was predominated by Candida holmii, C. lambica, C. milleri, Hansenula anomala and Saccharomyces dairensis. Inoculation with other yeast species reported in the literature to prevail in maize or wheat silages did not alter the yeast flora.

Ensiling Agricultural Residues for Bioethanol Production

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2007
The potential of using ensiling, with and without supplemental enzymes, as a cost-effective pretreatment for bioethanol production from agricultural residues was investigated. Ensiling did not significantly affect the lignin content of barley straw, cotton stalk, and triticale hay ensiled without enzyme, but slightly increased the lignin content in ...

Wet ensiling of sugar beets with or without ensiling additive

2018
Traditionally fodder beets have been fed to dairy cows as fresh beets, which has limited the use to a short period of the year. Conservation as silage could extend to whole year use. Beets can be ensiled in bunker silos, but with substantial effluent losses. Co-ensiling with e.g.

Fungal survival in ensiled swine faeces

Bioresource Technology, 2008
The survival of several genera of fungi was determined in the ensiled solid fraction of swine faeces after 0, 7, 14, 28 and 56 days of ensiling. The experiment had two treatments, un-ensiled and ensiled manure, in a split-plot design. The manure was distributed into 50 containers; samples, taken at the specified times, were cultured in agar potato ...

Ensiling of seaweed for a seaweed biofuel industry

Bioresource Technology, 2015
Effective biogas production from seaweed necessitates harvest at times of peak quality of biomass and low-loss preservation for year-around supply. Ensiling of five seaweed species and storage up to 90days was investigated as a method to preserve the methane yield potential.

Biochemistry of ensiling

2003
The biochemistry of ensiling is essentially a simple process, which, however, can become complex when interactions among plant enzymes and the activities of numerous microbial species become involved. The desired effect is the conversion of simple plant sugars such as glucose and fructose to lactic acid by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in an anaerobic ...
