HEMICELLULOSES OF WHEAT STRAW

Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 1951
Various hemicellulose fractions were extracted from wheat straw holocellulose (extractive and pectin free) by successive treatments with cold and hot water, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0% potassium hydroxide and were recovered by precipitation with alcohol. Approximately 25% of the holocellulose material was removed, one half being in the hot water soluble ...

Bioconversion of wheat straw and wheat straw components into single-cell protein

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1979
Several fungi (Aspergillus niger, A. terreus, Cochliobolus specifer, Myrothecium verrucaria. Rhizoctonia solani, Spicaria fusispora. Penicillium sp., and Gliocladium sp.) were isolated from decomposing wheat straw and tested for their ability to utilize whole straw and its components, holocellulose (hemicellulose and cellulose) and cellulose, for the ...

Biomethanation of rice and wheat straw

World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1994
When rice or wheat straw was added to cattle dung slurry and digested anaerobically, daily gas production increased from 176 to 331 l/kg total solids with 100% rice straw and to 194 l/kg total solids with 40% wheat straw. Not only was methane production enhanced by adding chopped crop residues but a greater biodegradability of organic matter in the ...

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.
