Techniques for Fermentating High-concentration Ethanol from Mixing Yellow Serofluid and Cassava
The conditions of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation by mixing yellow se-rofluid and cassava flour were investigated for producing high-concentration ethanol. The important parameters were screened by Plackett-Burman design, and subsequently the path of steepest ascent was used to approach to the biggest region of ethanol production. Finally, the optimum values of parameters were obtained by orthogonal tests. The experimental results showed the optimum technical conditions as follows:Substrate concentration 38%,CO(NH2)2 0. 15%,Dextrozyme 1.45 AGU/g substrate,KHzPO40. 07%,under which the ethanol reached 17. 21% (V/V) after 48 h fermentation at 32°C and 100 r/min.
