Important inhibitors of industrial fuel ethanol fermentation
Biological contaminants:
Yeasts:
Flocculant S. cerevisiae, Dekkera, Brettanomyces ,Candida, Hansenula, Kloeckera,
Kluyveromyces, Pichia, Rhodotorula, Schizosaccharomyces, Schwanniomyces, Torula, Torulopsis,
Trichosporon, Cryptococcus .
Problems: Decrease in ethanolic yield by sugar consume and yeast flocculation.
Bacteria: The most important genus - Lactobacillus, Bacillus and Leuconostoc.
species: Lactobacillus fermentum, L. plantarum
The most important
Problems: Sugar consumption producing lactic acid which decrease the yeast
viability. Increase of yeast flocculation causing the yeast settling at the bottom of
vats, and cell loss in centrifuges further contributing to the reduction in the ethanol
yield.

ABIOTIC INHIBITORS

OF YEAST FERMENTATION
There important abiotic inhibitors are :
a) The highest ethanol concentration used is 10% (v/v), The enzymes alcohol
dehydrogenase and hexokinase are more sensitive to high concentrations of ethanol (Jones et al. 1976)
b) pH and acidity - Acetic, formic and lactic acid have inhibitory effect by interfering in
chemical maintenance functions of the cells, such as nutrient intake.
Lactic acid shows inhibitory property in high concentrations (6-40 g/L) (Maiorella et al
1987, Oliva-Neto & Yokoya, 1994)
pH in the industrial fermentation should be maintained higher than 4.0. Lower pH
acting in a synergistic effect with other inhibitors and they affect the proton pump and
other cellular functions of S. cerevisiae. (Dorta et al. 2006)
c) Sulphite – Maximum level – 50 – 100 mg/L to avoid inhibition on the metabolism of
sugar consumption. Sodium sulphite in the cane molasses - 200 to 700 mg/L, and in the
wort up to 300 mg SO2/L. Dissulphite reacts with acetaldehyde and blocks NAD+
regeneration required for the glycolysis in yeast (Harada et al 1985, Alves, 1994).
Sodium Sulphite MIC (Minimum Inhib.Concentr.) for S.cerevisiae is 5000 mg/L (OlivaNeto & Yokoya, 2001)
d) High temperature – Maximum temperature possible to use in the fermentation is
34oC . Higher temperatures affect the cell membrane and yeast viability.

Production of xylo-oligosacharides from bagasse
XOS are Prebiotic: sugar oligomers that can not be digested by
animals and humans. Advantages of prebiotics:
- Increase the number of Probiotics in the gut. Decrease the number of harmful microbes.
Improve the protection against osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and colon cancer. Prevent dental caries. - Low calories. Animal nutrition: decrease the number of diseases and
reduce use of antibiotics.
