Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8604357A1] A new single-stage fermentation process for the commercial production of ethanol from refined sucrose, raw sugar, sugar cane juice, sugar cane syrup, sucrose hydrolysates and invert sugars has been developed using $i(Zymomonas mobilis). The process gives a 94-98% sucrose hydrolysis efficiency and a 95-98% ethanol conversion efficiency. Within 24-30 hours, 200 g/L sucrose is converted to produce 95.5 g/L ethanol. Reinoculation is carried out from the fermented broth without the need for centrifugation or membrane filtration.
