Ethanol fermentation converts sugars into bioethanol through the action of microorganisms, most commonly yeast, under anaerobic conditions. Feedstocks range from first-generation sugar and starch ...

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 ...

Fermentation dynamics in bioethanol production encompass the biochemical, microbial and operational factors that govern the conversion of carbohydrate feedstocks into ethanol via yeast‐driven ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are proposing to borrow a process used in breweries and wastewater treatment facilities to make corn ethanol more energy efficient.

New research suggests that the diversity of the microbial community involved in sugarcane ethanol fermentation processes plays a significant role in its performance. Selecting the right bacteria could ...

URBANA – Using a wet ethanol production method that begins by soaking corn kernels rather than grinding them, results in more gallons of ethanol and more usable co-products, giving ethanol producers a ...

With all the focus on electric vehicles it can be easy to forget the billions that the government pours into biofuels, and especially corn based ethanol production. Most people prefer the idea of EV’s ...

Sweden’s University of Borås doctoral student Ramkumar Nair has shown it is possible to produce bioethanol from agricultural and industrial waste in existing plants in a socioeconomically sustainable ...

Humans have used fermentation for thousands of years. Chemical residues from pottery at Jiahu, in central China, date a fermented beverage of rice, honey, and fruit to roughly 9,000 years ago, and ...

A bacteria found in the gut of a rabbit can now help cars run in a more eco-friendly way. The bacteria, identified by biotech start-up LanzaTech, helps turn factory carbon emissions, a.k.a. pollution, ...
