Optimization of Fermentation Parameters in Ethanol Production

Ethanol technology has seen vast improvements to become more profitable during the last decade but profit margins have constantly been narrowed. Contamination, availability of raw materials and fermentation process design are the major limitations causing a reduction in alcohol yield and quality in the alcohol industry. Among the crucial factors affecting ethanol production, fermentation parameters play significant role on growth of yeast as well as on ethanol production. Hence, the optimization of fermentation parameters has a great role for sustainable success in a bioprocess industry. Besides, the time and economics of the industry relies up to a major extent on optimization. Accordingly, this book depicts that the optimized of fermentation parameters to maximize the production of ethanol.
