Recently, scientists consider the Rapa seed oil straw as one of the most important alternative energy sources of the future. Rapa seed oil straws are mostly no longer used by farmers, just as compost and cattle beds. But by utilizing Rapa seed oil straw will produce alternative energy of renewable biofuels.
Scientists from the Institute of Food Research are looking for ways, how to change the straw from Rapa seed oil into alternative biofuel energy. Preliminary findings show how bioful manufacturing processes can be produced more efficiently, as well as how to increase the production of Rapa seed oil straw can be improved.
#Straw of Rapa Seed Oil, Renewable Alternative Energy Sources
Rapa seed oil has long been used in West Asia, Central Asia, and Europe as oil for lamps. Rapa seed oil is also used for cooking instead of pork oil. At the end of World War II, seed oil is very limited utilization due to the high content of erucic acid and glucosinolate and always accompanies the compound that causes bitter taste in oil. The late 1960s found a Polish rapper native cultivar that produced very low levels of erucic acid. Since then the planting of Rapeseed Nica began to expand, efforts to lower glucosinolate content rather slowly because these compounds are more varied.

Rice straws such as wheat, barley, and Rapa seed oil are seen as potential sources of biomass energy to boost the production of second generation biofuels. At least production in the UK reaches about 12 million tons of Rapa seed oil straw. In fact, Rapa seed oil is widely used for cattle beds and compost and energy generation.
Straw contains a mixture of sugar that can be used as an alternative source of biofuel energy, which in its use does not compete with food production but is a sustainable solution in terms of waste utilization. The sugar present in straw can not be accessed by enzymes that liberate it to be converted into alternative biofuel energy, so treatment before the management of straw will be indispensable.
Pre-treatment of palm oil seed oil will make complex carbohydrates more accessible to enzymes that convert into glucose, a process called saccharification which is then fermented by yeast into ethanol.
By using the Biorefinery Center facility at Norwich Research Park, scientists see the opportunity to open sugar bound in the structure of Rapa seed oil straw. In the pre-treatment phase will focus on a vapor explosion that involves pressure or 'cooking' biomass to boost the chemical reaction.

This process uses variations in the temperature and duration of steam explosions, then uses various physical and biochemical techniques to characterize the effects of different types of sugar before and after the saccharification. The amount of cellulose converted into glucose will increase, the efficiency of saccharification is also related to the loss of certain sugars and the subsequent formation of the sugar derivative products.
In further studies, the scientists found the key factors that determine the efficiency of saccharification. One particular compound (uronic acid) limits the level of enzyme kinrja. The end result is closely related to the removal of xylan, one of the common components present in plant cell walls. The amount of lignin is positively associated with the amount of sugar available. This finding will help improve the efficiency of Rapa seed oil in order to convert it into alternative biofuel energy sources.
This study may also increase Rapa seed oil straw is useful for reducing uronic acid levels in biomass. In general, Rapa seed oil is developed to improve seed yield and resistance to disease regardless of its effect on straw.
