Simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation for bioethanol production using corncobs at lab, PDU and demo scales

Abstract

The potential of SSCF is improved in combination with prefermentation and a feed of substrate and enzymes. It was possible to successfully reproduce the fed-batch SSCF at demo scale producing 4% (w/v) ethanol which is the minimum economical requirement for efficient lignocellulosic bioethanol production process.
