The digestibility of cane bagasse was increased by steam treatment. High pressures and short durations of treatment were sufficient to yield products with digestibilities as high as that of Setaria grass (Setaria sphacelata). The steam pressure required was about 14 to 15 bar for 10 minutes. Total acids and furfural production increased with steam pressure and duration of treatment, with yields of furfural higher than 3 per cent of dry bagasse being obtained. The digestibility of the remaining water-insoluble fraction after steam treatment was not increased. | |
