The efficiency of ethanol yield increased from 61% to 88% of the theoretical value as the filling-up time was approached in fed-batch fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Temporary accumulation of ethanol within the yeast cells may explain the above variation.
F e d -b a t c h ethanol f e r m e n t a t i o n tests of sugar cane blackstrap molasses were carried out at 32Β°C and p H 4.5-5.0, using pressed yeast as inoculum, and with no air supply. Two values of the fermentor filling-up time were adopted: 5 h and 7 h. The feeding rates obeyed equation F = F o
