Memorandum on Fusel Oil

چکیده
2. Fusel or fousel oil is a term generally applied to amylio alcohol, but practically fusel oil is a mixture of several homologous alcohols ; homologous being an expression employed in organic chemistry to denote a series of compounds each member of which differs from the preceding one by an addition of CH2. 3. The fermentation of pure sugar yields ethyl alcohol, ordinary spirits of wine, and glycerine, succinic and carbonic acids. But when sugars are used, derived from fruits or trrain, in addition to ordinary alcohol, one or more of the higher homologues of ethyl alcohol

A distillery by-product as an external carbon source for enhancing denitrification in mainstream and sidestream treatment processes.
The use of fusel oil as an 'alternative' carbon source for denitrification in the mainstream and sidestream treatment processes was studied. Research comprised two kinds of batch experiments as well as acclimation of process biomass to external carbon sources. In the conventional nitrate utilization rate (NUR) measurements (one-phase experiments with non-acclimated biomass), the NUR with fusel ...
متن کاملBiotechnological Utilisation of Fusel Oil, A Food Industry By-Product A Kinetic Model on Enzymatic Esterification of i-Amyl Alcohol and Oleic Acid by Candida antarctica Lipase B
Fusel oil is a by-product of distilleries, its main component is i-amyl alcohol, which can form ester compounds. Esterification of oleic acid and i-amyl alcohol by Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435 preparation) in n-heptane solvent was studied in this work. Ping-pong bi-bi mechanism (inhibition phenomena taken into account) was applied as a complex kinetic model. The parameters of the mo...
متن کاملChemical Aspects of Distilling Wines into Brandy
Wines for brandy distillation should be made from white grapes by fermentation of juice separated from pomace without adding SO2 (to minimize aldehyde accumulation) at as low temperature as is practicable (less than 7 5 ° F , to minimize fusel oil formation) and should be distilled as soon as fermentation is complete. In California, wines are distilled into brandy in continuous plate columns ar...
متن کاملBiotechnological Utilisation of Fusel Oil for Biolubricant Production
Complete utilisation of by-products from agricultural and food industrial production is an important task both from economical and environmental aspects. There are numerous possibilities for manufacture of bioproducts by biotechnological processes, among them biofuels attracted the greatest attention (Watanabe et al., 2000). Industrial by-products can be, however, processed by several biotechno...
متن کاملHyphal-like Extension and Pseudohyphal Formation in Industrial Strains of Yeasts Induced by Isoamyl Alcohol
Yeasts can produce pseudohyphae and hyphal-like extensions under certain growth conditions like isoamyl alcohol (IAA) induction, a chief constituent of fusel oil, which is a subproduct from the ethanolic fermentation. The morphology switch from yeast to a filamentous form can be troublesome to the process. In this work it was studied the influence of fusel alcohols, nitrogen sources (ammonium s...
