A field experiment was carried out during the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 growing seasons to study the performance of two sugar beet varieties under three planting densities and three planting dates. Planting densities, planting dates and varieties as well as their interactions exhibited significant effects on all studied traits including, root length and diameter, root and top yields, sucrose content, impurities%, quality index (Qz), recoverable sugar (RS)%, and recoverable sugar yield (RSY). The highest root length and diameter from planting sugar beet at a density of 28,000 plants/feddan (Feddan = 4200 m2) in both growing seasons. Meanwhile, the highest values of the remaining studied traits were produced from cultivating sugar beet at 42,000 plants/ feddan Superiority in all studied traits was scored to the September 25th planting date.

The beet sugar industry in the tropical and subtropical regions, which are mostly developing countries is growing as an important component of sugar production. A field experiment was conducted at Delta Sugar Company Research Farm, ElHamool, Kafr ElSheikh, Egypt to evaluate the response of sugar beet varieties to interand intra-row distances. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed significant effects of interand intra-row distances on all studied traits, i.e., sucrose content (Pol%), Na%, K%, α-amino-N%, quality index (Qz)%, root yield (RY), recoverable sugar (RS)%, recoverable sugar yield (RSY), sugar loss (SL)% and sugar loss yield (SLY) either in one or both growing seasons except for the effect of inter-row planting distances on Na% and loss sugar yield in both growing seasons. The results revealed that increasing the inter-row planting distance from 50 to 60 cm led to a significant reduction in sucrose content, Na%, RY, RS% and RSY. However, increasing the inter-row planting distance from 50 to 60 cm is associated with a significant reduction in the Qz%, RS%, SL% and SLY. Increasing the intra-row planting distances from 10 to 15 cm led to a significant reduction in sucrose%, Na%, Qz% and RS%. Additionally, significant variations in all studied traits were observed among varieties. The interactions between the studies factors and varieties exhibited significant effects on all studied traits. Planting the variety Garrot at 15 and 50 cm intraand inter-row distances produced the highest Qz%, RY and RSY. The lowest SLY resulted from planting the sugar beet variety Husam at 10 and 60 cm intraand inter-row planting distances.

Furthermore, the cellulolytic activity and citric acid production by the active producers were assayed on a carboxy methylcellulose medium. The study was extended to improve citric acid production from sugarcane bagasse using mixed cultures of the highest endo-cellulases (CMCase) and citric acid-producing isolates. All the tested fungal isolates exhibited varying amounts of acid production on Czapek’s dextrose (Cz-Dox) solid medium containing CaCO3. The highest concentration of citric acid produced using a Cz-Dox liquid medium was 8.49 ±2 g/L as recorded by A. brasiliensis Am 27. This amount of citric acid is equivalent to 29.22% of initial sugar. A.niger Am 270 showed the highest endo-cellulases production (0.73±0.2 IU/mL) whereas A. niger Am 258 exhibited the highest citric acid yield (14.74%). These isolates were chosen for the maximization of citric acid production from sugarcane bagasse. The highest amount of citric acid from sugarcane bagasse medium by A. niger Am 258 was obtained after 10 days of incubation, recording 34 g/L citric acid and by increasing the incubation period, the obtained amount of citric acid decreased. Whereas the mixed cultures of Am 270 and Am 258 strains revealed a slight enhancement of citric acid production recording 35.1 g/L citric acid after 8 days of the total incubation period.

Many efforts have conducted to approach the most proper alternative decolorants. The present study is focusing on investigation of cationic color precipitants “CCP” as alternatives of “H2O2” in clarification of raw sugar melt in Egypt. The experiments have performed using a pilot plant at Quos sugar factory, Qena governorate, Egypt. In these experiments, a comparison between two types of “CCP” (S TYPE 20 and TACELENE 4015) have been evaluated from the standpoint of decolorization efficiency. The behavior of the most effective matter has studied via the effect of dosage, pH, retention time and feeding point on the decolorization efficiency. A comparison between S TYPE 20 and hydrogen peroxide H2O2 in decolorization of raw sugar melt has conducted. The results show that, (S TYPE 20) is more effective than (TACELENE 4015) with percentage of color removal of 33.11% and 20.70% respectively. In addition, the results 64 Hazem F. et al.
