Discussion
Consider the following pairs of residue and its principal product:
Rice husk - Boiler fuel and pozzolanic ash
Rice bran - Edible oil and defatted feed
Molasses - Ethanol and feed supplement
Bagasse - Pectin
How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
Answer: D
Correct answer: Only three
Three pairs are right. Rice husk yields boiler fuel and pozzolanic ash; rice bran yields edible oil and a defatted feed; molasses yields ethanol and a feed supplement.
The fourth is wrong. Bagasse is the fibrous residue left after cane is crushed, and it is used as boiler fuel, for paper and board, and as a feedstock for particle board - not for pectin. Pectin comes from citrus peel and apple pomace, where the cell walls are rich in it.
