Table 1.
Comparison of the different fermentation strategies applied in this study in terms of yeast needed (total yeast pitched/total volume fermented), ethanol yield YSE (gethanol/gsugar/0.51 × 100%), ethanol titres and average volumetric productivity –
Batch | Fed-Batch | CoRyFee | |
---|---|---|---|
Total yeast pitch (g/L) | 1.0 | 0.5 | 0.2 |
YSE (%) | 90 | 91 | 92 |
Ethanol titre (g/L) | 53.1 | 42.3 | 42.6 |
Rethanol((g/L/h) | 1.1 | 1.3 | 2.5(3.3*) |
