Abstract
ABSTRACT Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench var. Rio) was ensiled for 10 months prior to extraction studies using a pilot scale continuous countercurrent diffuser. The effects of liquid-solid (L/S) ratio and temperature on sugar and organic acid recovery were studied. A theoretical treatment of the continuous countercurrent extraction process was developed based on Silin's model for the sugar beet diffuser. The model could be used for predicting the operation parameters for recovery of fermentable sugars from sweet sorghum stored as ensilage for year-round operation of an alcohol fermentation facility.
