Motivación: La industria quesera genera grandes cantidades de suero lácteo, líquido que queda tras la separación de la grasa y la caseína de la leche en el proceso de producción del queso. El suero lácteo es uno de los principales subproductos generados a nivel mundial, y debido a sus altas cargas de DBO y DQO de 30.000-50.000 y 60.000-80.000...
Due to the important contribution that it makes to human nutrition, maize is one of the most widely-consumed cereals in the world. There is, therefore, high demand for fertilizers that will maintain maize production at both high yield and quality levels. The objective of this work was to study the effect of foliar fertilization using a...
Enzymatic hydrolysis is recognised as an effective pre-treatment for increasing biodegradability of sludge. In this work, isolated commercial enzymes as well as in-situ enzymes producer bacteria were used respectively as enhancers and pre-treatments of sewage sludge. Biodegradability of sample as well as biomethane potential production were...
In Morocco, storage reservoirs are particular systems of water supply in rural areas. These reservoirs are fed with rainwater and/or directly from the river, which are very contaminated by several pathogenic bacteria. They are used without any treatment as a drinking water by the surrounding population. In this context, the aim of this study is...
Producto orgánico potenciador de la persistencia de atrazina en suelo y bioestimulante edafológico. La presente invención tiene por objeto un preparado líquido compuesto por una disolución a partes iguales de un extracto enzimático vegetal y un producto humectante a la que se añade atrazina en polvo hasta obtener una suspensión uniforme del 50%...
Bacillus licheniformis is a Gram-positive, soil bacterium used in the biotechnology industry to manufacture industrial enzymes including several proteases, amylase, lipases, chitinases, etc. These enzymes have a wide range of application in food and detergent industry. However, this organism may have other applications in the environmental...
The quality of soil is strongly bound by several interactions between chemical and biological components, including microbial composition, which are a key importance for soil performance. Cultural activities have a huge induction on soil health, through both modification of physicochemical proprieties and changing on soil microbial communities....
The cheese whey (95% composed of water) is an effluent produced in the cheese industry, of which more than 1.5 million tons are generated in Spain, constituting a serious environmental problem. The process starts with a new fermentative/enzymatic technology that totally converts whey, mainly composed by lactose, proteins, and salts, into a...
This work presents a new bioprocess process for the extraction of bioactive components from soy pulp by-product (okara) using an enzymatic technology that was compared to a conventional water extraction. Okara is rich in fiber, fat, protein, and bioactive compounds such as isoflavones but its low solubility hampers the use in food and...
Biostimulants are substances and/or microorganisms that are applied to plants or to the rhizosphere in order to enhance the natural process improving the absorption of nutrients and the quality of crops as well as the tolerance to abiotic stresses. A new biostimulant was developed from sewage sludge through its fermentation with Bacillus...
Grape pomace, a winemaking industry by-product, is a rich source of bioactive dietary compounds. Using proteases we have developed an enzymatic process for obtaining a water-soluble extract (GP-EE) that contains biomolecules such as peptides, carbohydrates, lipids and polyphenols in soluble form. Of especial interest is its high polyphenol...
The effect of adding an enzymatic hydrolysate of grape seeds (EH-GS) during Syrah wine fermentation in a warm climate has been evaluated. We focused on the polyphenolic composition as well as the application of differential and tristimulus colorimetry to colour data. This is the first attempt at using this oenological alternative to avoid...
Management of sewage sludge has become a topic of increasing importance. This is because the treatment and final destination of these wastes are not growing at the same rate at which generated what is necessary to add the limited storage capacity of wastewater treatment plants or waste transfer centers. Current policies of different governments...
