Cooking and fermentation of ethanol production process

Cooking and fermentation of ethanol production process control, improve the efficiency of production and technology

Ethanol (C₂H.₅OH) is obtained by processing of corn.Maize ground first, then add water and enzymes to break down the starch content.

In stage of starch gelatinization starch will water absorption swelling, loss of crystalline structure.That prompted alpha amylase long chain of starch hydrolysis into dextrin and short chain.This process is called "liquid".

In the process of fermentation, added a second enzyme, namely glucoamylase, polysaccharides decompose into a single glucose molecules.This step is called "synchronous saccharifying fermentation (SSF).In fermentation process, yeast will simple sugars into ethanol.

Visa K - PATENTS^®Online refractometer can be used to monitor liquid tank of dissolved sugar concentration.The in situ refractometer can also be used to monitor and control the required amount of alpha amylase.Can be measured in the fermentation of ethanol and/or sugar concentration, so that you can achieve ethanol yield.Finally, by means of the refractometer with measured values, people can reduce the time and the dosage of enzyme batch production.
