Othman Abdul Samah, . (1984) Comparative studies on the production of alcohol by Kluyveromyces fragilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Comparative studies on the production of alcohol from cocoa juice a waste product from pressed cocoa beans by Kluyveromyces fragilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were conducted. Cultures were grown by continuous fermentation at various levels of dilution rates with constant stirring at 300 rev. min-1. S. cerevisiae produced 59.8 g/1 of ethanol at a temperature of 30 deg C while the yield of ethanol obtained with K. fragilis was recorded as 69.7 g/1 under similar growth conditions. Maximum ethanol production was achieved with a cell concentration of 2.7 g/1 and 2.9 g/1 in the fermentor for S. cerevisiae and K. fragilis respectively. Both species also produced methanol and a few other alcohols
