Recycle Bioreactor for Bioethanol Production from Wheat Starch II. Fermentation and Economics

摘要

Bioethanol has been produced using sugars from cold hydolysis of pure wheat starch, sterile wheat flour, and unsterile wheat flour. The conversion of sugars to ethanol from pure starch reached 96/100 of the theoretical maximum while that from sterile wheat flour was 69/100 and from unsterile wheat flour only 35/100.
