Optimizing bioethanol production from sweet sorghum stem juice under very high gravity fermentation and temperature stress conditions by Phon Thatiyamanee, Pattana Laopaiboon, Lakkana Laopaiboon

“…The experimental values (PE, 119.29 g/L; QP, 2.49 g/L.h and %SC, 91.83 %) under optimal conditions were close to the predicted values, verifying the optimization process. Aeration (2.5 vvm for 4 h) increased viable cell counts and decreased glycerol production (a by-product), but not fermentation efficiency. …”
