Fermenting corn starch to generate ethanol for fuel is a complex biochemical process that requires the monitoring of numerous parameters to ensure optimal production. Measuring these parameters using ...

BACKGROUND: While simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) is considered to be a promising process for bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials to ethanol, there are still relatively ...

It is possible to produce bioethanol from agricultural and industrial waste in existing plants in a socioeconomically sustainable way, according to new research from Sweden. It is possible to produce ...

This is part of the intermediate pilot scale fermentation lab at the National Corn-to-Ethanol Research Center at SIUE. These 1,500-liter fermenters are pharmaceutical grade. This is the control room ...

The metabolic process by which organisms, particularly yeasts, produce ethanol and CO 2 from sugars (e.g., glucose, fructose, & sucrose) under anaerobic conditions is called alcohol fermentation.

Using barley as the raw material for ethanol production results in an additional product -- dried grains for animal feed. But the presence of a fungal pathogen sometimes found in barley can result in ...
