VARIATION OF THE ETHANOL YIELD DURING VERY RAPID BATCH FERMENTATION OF SUGAR-CANE BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES

During rapid ethanol fermentation (2-3 h) of sugar-cane blackstrap molasses, a significant increase in the ethanol yield was frequently observed as fermentation proceeded, eventually leading to yields higher than the theoretical value when the end of the process was approached. In order to explain t...
