Bioconversion of Onion Waste to Valuable Biosugar as an Alternative Feed Source for Honey Bee

摘要: White sugar is the main commodity used to feed honey bees during off-season as a nectar substitute. However, price of increasing every year, thereby making bee keeping an expensive enterprise. Hence, it necessary find alternative that cheaper than sugar. The study aims determine potential from renewable resources using onion waste (OW), which has similar composition honey. OW produces biosugar in-house produced enzymes at 90% conversion rate. efficiency enzymatic hydrolysis increases by more 2 times after popping pretreatment. Furthermore, removal rate 98.5% for sulfur compounds, caused distinctive smell onion, obtained continuous column process with activated carbon-containing alginate bead (AC-AB) adsorbent. In addition, pretreatment and AC-AB adsorbent treatment, intake increased mortality decreased 3.2 compared none-popping desulfurization treatment. Moreover, combination pollen decreases almost 5.4 times. results clearly demonstrates can be possible source bees.
