Summary: This study evaluated the effect of hydrothermal pretreatment on the availability of fermentable sugars in sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) and the energy balance of the process. It was found that increasing the severity of pretreatment significantly increased the release of sugars and energy consumption. The PSSF process resulted in a bioethanol production of 22.17 g/L.

Summary: This study focuses on a new method for estimating fermentable sugar yield in sweet sorghum stems, comparing various analysis and estimation methods. Three formulas for estimating sugar content of the whole stem are proposed, and the most simplified method involves analyzing the juice and drying the bagasse. The results show that it is feasible to estimate sugars content of the whole stem by analyzing the juice or the bagasse only.

Summary: The study focused on isolating diazotrophic endophytic bacteria associated with sweet sorghum plants to enhance plant growth and health, investigating their interaction with chemical N-fertilization on different sorghum cultivars. The evaluated cultivars showed varying responses to bacterial inoculation, nitrogen fertilization doses, and their interaction, as plant growth is a multifactorial consequence of the interrelation between crop practices and plant genotypes.

Summary: Sweet sorghum is a renewable carbohydrate feedstock for biofuel production. Storing sweet sorghum syrup with a layer of soybean oil can reduce sugar loss, but bacterial contamination may inhibit yeast fermentation. However, if ethanol-producing microorganisms are present, stored syrups can still produce bioethanol at a high yield.

Summary: The study found that removing the grain sink significantly increased sugar accumulation, biomass, and Brix degrees in sweet sorghum. Therefore, further development of sorghum varieties without a grain sink to maximize sugar yield for biofuel production is justified.

Summary: Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major limiting factor for crop production in acidic soils. Two WRKY transcription factors, SbWRKY22 and SbWRKY65, were identified and characterized in sweet sorghum. Al induced the transcription of SbWRKY22 and SbWRKY65 in sweet sorghum root apices. SbWRKY22 showed significant regulation of major known Al tolerance genes, while SbWRKY65 indirectly regulated Al-tolerance genes through regulating SbWRKY22.

Summary: This study evaluated and discussed the structural and property differences between sweet and waxy sorghum starches, both from inbred and hybrid varieties. The findings suggested that there were differences in fraction, amylose content, and amylopectin chain composition between the different starches. The study also concluded on the relationship between starch granule structure and function.

Summary: Sweet sorghum, as a sugar-rich plant, can be utilized as a renewable source of bioenergy with no impact on global warming and food security. This study explores the potential of sweet sorghum juice for generating bioethanol using yeast isolated from the juice. The findings indicate that sweet sorghum juice is an excellent source of potent yeasts, particularly Saccharomyces yeast, which has industrial properties like high ethanol and glucose tolerance.

Summary: The present study analyzed the composition, bioactive compound contents, and iron bioavailability of sweet sorghum molasses and compared them to sugar cane molasses. The sorghum molasses showed higher levels of proteins, lipids, total dietary fiber, carbohydrates, ash, calcium, total phenolic compounds, and ferritin concentration. This indicates that sorghum molasses is a promising source of minerals and bioactive compounds for human nutrition.

Summary: With the growth of population, there is a need to address the depletion of non-renewable energy sources and their negative environmental effects. This study focuses on the production of high ethanol yields from plant-based biofuel through immobilized yeast. The findings show that immobilized yeast has a higher ethanol concentration and conversion compared to free yeast. The study provides important insights for efficient ethanol production and rates a score of 8 out of 10.

Summary: Sorghum is a valuable cereal crop that is grown in Asia and Africa due to its resilience to drought and heat. There is increasing demand for sweet sorghum for bioethanol production and food/feed purposes. Understanding the genetic basis of bioenergy-related traits can lead to the development of new cultivars for bioenergy production.

Summary: The technology valuation of cellulosic ethanol production by K. marxianus strain from sweet sorghum bagasse showed great potential, reaching almost double the yield compared to corn straw. An integration between 1G and 2G ethanol production without mixing material streams was considered to improve the technology valuation analysis.

Summary: This study investigated the use of sweet sorghum biomass as carbon sources for bacterial cellulose production, with promising results obtained from the lignocellulosic parts. The structural properties and tensile strength of bacterial cellulose from these parts were comparable to commercial glucose medium. This work broadens the potential of sweet sorghum as a material crop for bio-based building blocks.
