Summary
Vietnam
Area of Science:
- Agricultural Science
- Industrial Biotechnology
Background:
- Sugarcane is a vital industrial crop in Vietnam, covering 127,000 hectares.
- Vietnam produced 0.763 million tons of sugar in 2020-2021, contributing 0.34% to global production.
- The sugarcane industry supports sugar, ethanol, bio-electricity, and fertilizer production.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the current state of Vietnam's sugarcane industry.
- To identify challenges and R&D focus areas for sustainable sugarcane production.
- To explore the potential of sugarcane co-products for bio-economy growth.
Main Methods:
- Review of existing literature and industry data on sugarcane production and utilization.
- Analysis of policies and programs aimed at improving sugarcane yield and sustainability.
- Examination of research and development trends in sugarcane co-product valorization.
Main Results:
- Vietnam has 25 sugar mills with a daily capacity of 110,000 tons of sugarcane.
- Co-products like molasses (for ethanol) and bagasse (for bio-energy) are key to sustainability.
- Sugarcane and sugar are crucial feedstocks for Vietnam's bio-economy.
Conclusions:
- Sustainable development requires upgrading the sugar value chain through co-product development.
- Meeting food and non-food demands necessitates innovation in sugarcane utilization.
- Valorizing co-products is essential for the long-term viability of Vietnam's sugar industry.

01:10Sugars as Energy Storage Molecules
8.9K
Sugar (a simple carbohydrate) metabolism (chemical reactions) is a classic example of the many cellular processes that use and produce energy. Living things consume sugar as a major energy source because sugar molecules have considerable energy stored within their bonds. Consumed carbohydrates have their origins in photosynthesizing organisms like plants. During photosynthesis, plants use the energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide gas into sugar molecules, like glucose. Because this...

02:02Phloem and Sugar Transport
38.2K
Like many living organisms, plants have tissues that specialize in specific plant functions. For example, shoots are well adapted to rapid growth, while roots are structured to acquire resources efficiently. However, sugar production is primarily restricted to the photosynthetic cells that reside in the leaves of angiosperm plants. Sugar and other resources are transported from photosynthetic tissues to other specialized tissues by a process called translocation.

Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

01:46The Calvin Benson Cycle
4.8K
Ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo) is a critical enzyme that catalyzes carbon dioxide assimilation during photosynthesis. However, it is an inefficient enzyme, having an extremely slow catalytic rate. A typical enzyme can process about a thousand molecules per second; however, RuBisCo fixes only around three-carbon dioxides per second. Photosynthetic cells compensate for this slow rate by synthesizing very high amounts of RuBisCo, making it the most abundant single...

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

01:37The Citric Acid Cycle: Overview
19.6K
In aerobic organisms, the citric acid cycle is the second stage of cellular respiration wherein molecules derived from the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are oxidized into carbon dioxide and energy. This process is also known as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle as the first product of the cycle, citric acid, contains three carboxyl groups in its structure. Alternatively, this cycle is also referred to as the Krebs cycle, in honor of its discoverer Sir Hans Krebs.
