Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fermentation of 28 Barley and 12 Oat Cultivars

As barley and oat production have recently increased in Canada, it has become prudent to investigate these cereal crops as potential feedstocks for alcoholic fermentation. Ethanol other coproduct yields can vary substantially among fermented feedstocks, which currently consist primarily of wheat corn. In this study, the liquified mash milled grains from 28 (hulled hull-less) 12 cultivars were with Saccharomyces cerevisiae determine concentrations fermentation products (ethanol, isopropanol, acetic acid, lactic succinic ?-glycerylphosphorylcholine (?-GPC), glycerol). On average, produced significantly higher amounts ethanol, ?-GPC, glycerol than that oats. The best performing able produce up 78.48 g/L (CDC Clear) ethanol 1.81 ?-GPC Cowboy). Furthermore, presence hulls did not impact yield amongst cultivars. Due its superior compared oats, is a suitable feedstock production. addition, accumulation could add considerable value crops.
