considered to be the cleanest liquid fuel, bioethanol can be a reliable alternative to fossil fuels. it is produced by fermentation of sugar components of plant materials. the common onions are considered to be a favorable source of fermentation products as they have high sugar contents as well as contain various nutrients. this study focused on the effective production of ethanol from an endem...

Ethanol is mainly produced from sugar cane (Brazil) and corn or other cereals (US), but these sources induced criticisms as for social sustainability, being directly competitive with the food and feed chain. Therefore, a second generation concept was introduced for biofuels, by developing processes for their production from waste biomass or energy crops not competitive with agriculture. However...

Economic, energy, and environmental impacts of 11 types of bioethanol feedstock in China were evaluated using a mixed-unit input-output life cycle assessment model. Corn grain and wheat grain had higher negative economic, energy, and environmental impacts. Sweet sorghum, cassava, sugar beet, and sugarcane showed better economic performance but increasing negative energy and environmental impact...

Over the last century, terrestrial yeasts have been widely used in various industries, such as baking, brewing, wine, bioethanol and pharmaceutical protein production. However, only little attention has been given to marine yeasts. Recent research showed that marine yeasts have several unique and promising features over the terrestrial yeasts, for example higher osmosis tolerance, higher specia...

Broomcorn seed (Sorghum vulgare) was used as raw material for bioethanol production. Optimum conditions were obtained from response surface method. Broomcorn seed flour (45 g/l) was treated by alkaline treatment and dual enzymatic hydrolysis (0.7 g/l of α- amylase and 0.42 g/l of amyloglucosidase). The hydrolyzed total sugar of 25.5 g/L was used in conventional bioethanol production (8.1 g/l) u...

Abstract Emissions from a diesel engine are dangerous to the environment and human health. Substitutable fuels renewable source one of alternatives reduce emissions. Neat biodiesel based palm oil (B100) can emissions higher oxygen content be more complete combustion. The disadvantage neat is lower thermal efficiency an advancement ignition. To improve this problem, adding bioethanol produced ag...

Here, we report the genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain NCIM3107, used in bioethanol production. The genome size is approximately 11.8 Mb and contains 5,435 protein-coding genes.

sweet sorghum that is adapted to the country hot and dry climatic condition, was selected as a raw material for biofuel and biogas production. bioethanol is produced from sweet sorghum stalks and grains and biogas is produced from its byproducts. the purpose of this study was to plant sweet sorghum irrigated with different qualities of water in order to produce biofuels. this experiment was con...

A comparison was studied for non-treated and pretreated corn stover with dilute alkaline peroxide and dilute acid treatment respectively for bioethanol production by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process in a continuous stirred batch bioreactor using fungi Aspergillus oryzae. The optimum parameters for bioethanol fermentation were: time, 48 h; pH, 6.0; temperature, 50oC; ...

In North Sulawesi has been known a very potential crop for yielding bio ethanol, is palm crop. Palm crops more productive than cane in yielding sugar and biofuel per hectare. Its productivity about 4 8 times compared to cane, and its sugar rendement 14%, while cane only 7%. Based on this research were obtained the tapping process should be conducted by unique sequential steps in order to reach ...
