Bio-oils from pyrolysis of as received sunflower seed hulls (SSH), hulls previously washed with acid (SSHA) and hulls submitted to a mushroom enzymatic attack (BSSH) were analyzed. The concentration of lignin, hemicellulose ...

The mycelial growth rates in linear growth assays, yield, and mushroom productivity of Hericium erinaceus were evaluated in a substrate containing sunflower seed hulls as the main energy and nutritional component, with the ...

Sunflower (Heliantus annus) seed hull (SSH), an abundant and cheap lignocellulosicresidue from edible oil-seed industries, was evaluated as an alternative substrate formushroom cultivation. Different edible and medicinal ...

High oleic sunflower seeds evaluated at 5.6% moisture content (dry basis) showed a surface area of approximately 102.41 mm2 with an average length, width, thickness and unit mass of 11.526, 5.008 and 2.809 mm and 0.055 g, ...

Waxes are natural components of sunflower oils, consisting mainly of esters of FA with fatty alcohols, that are partially removed in the winterization process during oil refining. The wax composition of sunflower seed as ...

Sunflower seed hulls are an abundant waste produced by the edible oil industry. Pyrolysis was assessed as a way of turning this material into a liquid rich in valuable products, as well as leading to densification of this ...

The mycelial growth rates in lineal growth assay, yield, and production rate of five Pleurotus ostreatus strains were evaluated in response to different levels of Mn(II) and/or NH4+ in a substrate containing sunflower seed ...

Clean production of furfuryl alcohol, an industrial product used worldwide, is presented using as a raw material sunflower seed hulls, an abundant agro-industrial waste. The method involves two steps. Firstly, a fast ...

Tocopherols are natural antioxidants that increase the stability of fat-containing foods and perform important biological activities. Significant variations (389 to 1873 μg g oil-1) in the total tocopherol concentration ...
