Abstract
Ethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NP 01 from sweet sorghum juice was conducted under nutrient supplementation and/or aeration conditions. Yeast extract (YE) and dried spent yeast (DSY) were used as nitrogen supplements. Under high gravity (HG, â¼200 g lâ1 of total sugar) conditions, the addition of either 6 g lâ1 of YE or 9 g lâ1 of DSY did not increase the ethanol concentration (P), but it promoted the rate of ethanol production or ethanol productivity (Qp). The Qp value of the control treatment (no supplement) was 1.96 g lâ1 hâ1. The P (93.4-94.0 g lâ1) and Qp (3.89-3.92 g lâ1 hâ1) values under the YE and DSY supplementation were comparable, indicating that DSY could be used to replace YE in ethanol production. Under very high gravity (VHG, â¼280 g lâ1 of total sugar) conditions, the supplementation of nitrogen and trace elements (Zn2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+) coupled with the aeration supply were required to improve the ethanol production efficiency. Under the supplementation (in g lâ1) of DSY (13.5), Zn2+ (0.01), Mg2+ (0.05) and Mn2+ (0.04) in the presence of aeration supply at 0.05 vvm for 12 h, the P and Qp values were 126.3 g lâ1 and 2.11 g lâ1 hâ1, respectively. The P and Qp values under the same supplementation without aeration were 114.8 g lâ1 and 1.91 g lâ1 hâ1, respectively, and these values under no supplementation and no aeration were 108.0 g lâ1 and 1.50 g lâ1 hâ1, respectively. In addition, glycerol (the main by-product during ethanol fermentation) under aeration conditions was â¼3 g lâ1 lower than that without aeration.
