چکیده

This fuel ethanol study examined the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae inoculum size on solid-phase fermentation of fodder beet pulp. A 5% inoculum (wt/wt) resulted in rapid yeast and ethanol (9.1% [vol/vol]) production. Higher inocula showed no advantages. Lower inocula resulted in lowered final yeast populations and increased fermentation times.

Evaluation of the fermentation of high gravity thick sugar beet juice worts for efficient bioethanol production

BACKGROUND Sugar beet and intermediates of sugar beet processing are considered to be very attractive feedstock for ethanol production due to their content of fermentable sugars. In particular, the processing of the intermediates into ethanol is considerably facilitated because it does not require pretreatment or enzymatic treatment in contrast to production from starch raw materials. Moreover,...

Orthogonal Array Approach for Optimization of Carrageenase Production by Solid State Fermentation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ZSL-2

The optimization of solid-substrate medium and fermentation conditions for the production of enzyme carrageenase by a Pseudomonas aeruginosa ZSL-2 was achieved for the first time by employing an orthogonal array testing strategy (OATS). Of the four different substrates tested, wheat bran showed maximum production of carrageenase enzyme. The factors that influence the solid-substrate fermentatio...
