Effect of vacuum pressure on ethanol fermentation
This study presents batch ethanol fermentation processes at various vacuum pressures. Glucose was used as substrate to anaerobically produce ethanol using baker's yeast at 47-760 mmHg and 33°C. The results indicated that the baker's yeast can survive and convert glucose to ethanol without...

This study presents batch ethanol fermentation processes at various vacuum pressures. Glucose was used as substrate to anaerobically produce ethanol using baker's yeast at 47-760 mmHg and 33°C.

The advantage of fermentation under vacuum pressure comes from the high ethanol concentration collected in the cold-trap while maintaining the productivity of fermentation processes in a range of 1.7 to 2.2 g/L/h.
