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 ...

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 ...

Another consideration is the safety of applying the fermentation byproduct to farm fields. In the lab, Johnson applied the byproduct to two types of soil, at three rates, up to the equivalent of six ...

A novel approach to brewing kombucha in stackable rectangular trays could help dramatically speed up the fermentation process and keep alcohol levels consistently below 0.5% abv, solving a major ...
