PROCESS FOR OBTAINING ETHANOL FROM STARCH OR STARCH MATERIALS CONTAINING STARCH AND MEANS FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a process for producing ethanol from starch and/or from starch-containing raw materials and especially cereals such as wheat, which, preferably, have been converted beforehand to flour which is free of bran, germs and middlings. It is characterised in that the starch 9 is exposed to a single active agent 10 which is capable of excreting into the medium enzymes 15, 16 required for the hydrolysis 11 of this starch 9, and of bringing about the alcoholic fermentation 12 of the sugars formed during the hydrolysis 11. Application to the ethanol-producing industry. IMAGE
