Introduction
• Sago pith residues - one of the abundant lignocellulosic residues available in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia
(Apun et al., 2000)



2,556 tons of sago pith residue are generated from sago mills annually. This waste is usually drained into nearby rivers together with sago effluent without proper treatment, leading to environmental problems
(Linggang et al., 2012)



Sago pith residues usage: animal feed, compost for mushroom culture, for hydrolysis to confectioners’ syrup, particle-board manufacture, and as substrate for local microbes to produce reducing sugars and enzyme.
(Apun et al, 2000; Phang et al., 2000; Rifat et al., 2003)

Sago palm- are those species of the genus Metroxylon belonging to the Palmae family.
(Singhal et al., 2008)



Extremely hardy plant, thriving in swampy, acidic peat soils, submerged and saline soils where few other crops survive, growing more slowly in peat soil than in mineral soil.
(Flach and Schuilling, 1989; Hisajima, 1994)

Sago solid residue; bark and ‘hampas’ are largely composed of celluloses and lignin, therefore, both a waste and a pollutant .

    The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the fermentation process of ethanol from the substrate sucrose. To make ethanol from sucrose two enzymes invertase and zymase were used. Vacuum filtration and fractional distillation were performed to get a more concentrated solution. The density of ethanol was .825 g/mL with a percent composition of 85% pure ethanol.…

    In this experiment, we Benedict’s reagent was used both before and after hydrolysis, to identify reducing sugars, which includes both monosaccharaides and disaccharides. Benedict’s reagent changes color in the presence of reducing sugars as well as heat. Low concentrations of sugar yield a yellow to orange color while higher concentrations will be red to brown. Lugol’s solution was used before and after hydrolysis to identify polysaccharides. Proteins were tested for using Biuret’s reagent, the alkaline chemical compound CuSO4. The action of enzymes on specific molecules was also determined, using the enzyme invertase followed by another test with Benedict’s reagent.…

    To overcome the high detection limit of carbohydrates, most of the methods described in the literatures rely on some sort of derivatization technique since the introduction of a chromophoric moiety can substantially improve the sensitivity, and a suitable tagging of reducing saccharides usually results in enhanced resolution and less matrix disturbances. Chromatography is the method most used for commercial sugar separations. Such separations are batch processes and normally imply expensive installations, low productivity and low yields of the desired product.…

    The sugarcane undergoing fermentation produced a volume of carbon dioxide that was nearly nine times more than the corn, wheat grain and wheat stalk. Wheat grain and corn was nearly doubled that of the wheat stalk and the control (Figure 1). Sugarcane was the leading plant material producing the highest volume of carbon dioxide (mean= 19.9 ± 0.996 mL) while other than the control; the wheat stalk produced the lowest volume of carbon dioxide (mean= 1.33 ± 0.036 mL). As time elapsed, the sugarcane had the highest reaction rate, nearly nine times more than all the other plant materials (Figure 2). Sugarcane ended with the highest reaction rate (mean= 0.99 ± 0.070 mL/min) while wheat stalk had the lowest reaction rate (mean= 0.067 ± 0.0095 mL/min).…

    The percent yield of ethanol from sucrose was successfully high, at 93.3 %. The final mass of the distillate obtained after fermentation and the fractional distillation process was 0.81g. The distillate was collected when the temperature reached approximately 50-70°C. The amount of ethanol that should have been produced was 13.66 ml, had the entire distillate (over 100 ml) been distilled fractionally . The density of the distillate obtained was 0.81 g/mL; therefore, the percent ethanol by weight was approximately 90%. The distillate contained mostly ethanol, but also contained water because due to the azeotropic mixture water and ethanol mix to produce, consisting of 95% ethanol and 5% water by weight. This experiment was a success due to the high percent yield of ethanol from the fermentation of sugar.…

    Conclusion: Overall the resulting data supported the alternative hypothesis, in which the type of carbohydrate makes a difference on the amount of CO2 produced. When deducing the results, it was concluded that sucrose made the greatest amount of fermentation in the set up of yeast out of the three types of carbohydrates. In the data collected from sucrose, there was more carbon dioxide (CO2) produced in three of the four graduated cylinders, because the rate of fermentation can be determined by measuring the amount of CO2 produced. Therefore, in the end those three graduated cylinders had an excess amount of fermentation product, with the fourth graduated cylinder having some water molecules still left. Our results from sucrose conclude two graduated cylinders with +50(ml) of CO2, one graduated cylinder with 40.0(ml) of CO2.…

    This scientific report will be based on cellular respiration, or fermentation. In specific, how the type of sugar affects the rate of fermentation. The aim of this experiment was to find which type of sugar was best suited to produce ethanol. In the experiment, four different sugars were used, they included sucrose, glucose, lactose and fructose. This research is still relevant today, as alcohol is still consumed and is required on a large scale. This makes it crucial to companies to find the best sugar to use in the fermentation process.…

    The following discussion includes facts about Sabal palmetto and how to identify one. Sabal palmetto, also known as sabal palm or cabbage palm, falls into the family, Arecaceae. In order to identify a Sabal palmetto (grass on steroids), you must know its composition and it topography. It is known to be a monocot, meaning that it has parallel veins. Also, it is an angiosperm, implecating that it blooms flowers and it’s fruit is a drupe. The leave composition is simple and its shape is palmate. An easy way to distinguish Sabal palmetto from other palms that fall into the family, Arecaceae is that the leaves are droopy, its hastula extends on the leaf, long spike leaves and the petiole is smooth. Other facts about Sabal palmetto is that it is a native species, it can grow up to 90 ft., it grows in coastal plains, wet to dry sites, it is evergreen and it is a slow growing tree with a boot not a bark. Its tolerances are very fire tolerant, wet, flood and shade tolerant, moderate salt and drought.…
