Bioethanol, a renewable alternative to fossil fuels, is principally produced by fermenting sugars derived from biomass feedstocks. Conventional routes employ sugar‐rich crops such as sugarcane or ...

Sugar beet pulp is the fibrous residue remaining after extraction of sucrose from sugar beets. Rich in cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin, it offers an abundant source of fermentable carbohydrates ...

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 ...

MBI’s efforts with a biomass pretreatment technology will be coupled with SunEthanol’s fermentation product. SunEthanol and MBI International are collaborating to scale up a fermentation method for ...

Ever on the lookout for new ways to improve the fermentation of corn sugars into ethanol fuel, Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists have devised an approach for using genetically modified ...
