Digestibility of wheat straw or ammoniated wheat straw in equine diets

Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 1992
Summary Six mature mares of Quarter Horse and Paint breeding (average body weight 560 kg) were used in a replicated, completely randomized experiment to evaluate the acceptance and digestibility of diets containing untreated or ammoniated wheat straw. Horses were fed one of three dietary treatments: (1) 50% chopped, ammoniated wheat straw/50% chopped

Fungal Upgrading of Wheat Straw for Straw-Thermoplastics Production

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2004
Combining biologic pretreatment with storage is an innovative approach for improving feedstock characteristics and cost, but the magnitude of responses of such systems to upsets is unknown. Unsterile wheat straw stems were upgraded for 12 wk with Pleurotus ostreatus at constant temperature to estimate the variation in final compositions with variations

The briquetting of wheat straw

Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research, 1977
Abstract Limited tests have been carried out which demonstrate that wheat straw can be compressed to a relative density greater than unity, and stabilized at that density without binding or other mechanical aids. This represents a reduction in the volume of the material by an order of magnitude, so the straw could be transported and stored more ...

Hydrotreating of wheat straw in toluene and ethanol

Bioresource Technology, 2014
In the present work, wheat straw was hydroliquefied at a temperature of 300°C for 4h in ethanol or toluene in order to obtain bio-components which are useful for fuel purposes. The experiments were performed in a 100mL batch reactor under hydrogen pressure of 70 bar.

Enzymic saccharification of pretreated wheat straw

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1985
AbstractStudies of pretreatment of wheat and its subsequent saccharification by Trichoderma reesei cellulases are reported. Steam explosion was found to be the most effective of the pretreatment methods tested. Data are presented describing the effect of enzyme and substrate concentration on the rate and degree of hydrolysis.

Plasma-Assisted Pretreatment of Wheat Straw

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2010
O₃ generated in a plasma at atmospheric pressure and room temperature, fed with dried air (or oxygen-enriched dried air), has been used for the degradation of lignin in wheat straw to optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis and to get more fermentable sugars. A fixed bed reactor was used combined with a CO₂ detector and an online technique for O₃ measurement

Nutraceutical and Functional Scenario of Wheat Straw

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2013
In the era of nutrition, much focus has been remunerated to functional and nutraceutical foodstuffs. The health endorsing potential of such provisions is attributed to affluent phytochemistry. These dynamic constituents have functional possessions that are imperative for cereal industry. The functional and nutraceutical significance of variety of foods

The pretreatment effect on wheat straw saccharification

Acta Biotechnologica, 1988
AbstractEnzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is potentially an attractive method for converting cellulose into glucose which can then be used as a chemical feed or as a growth substrate for a number of microorganisms to produce microbial products.An enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat straw with cellulase preparation “Trichocease” was made. The wheat straw used

Pelletizing Properties of Wheat Straw Blending with Rice Straw

Energy & Fuels, 2017
Mixing different types of biomass materials to achieve better pelletizing properties is a potential method to improve the biomass pelletizing process. In this study, experiments were carried out with a single pellet unit to obtain the pelletizing properties of wheat straw blending with rice straw.
