Abstract
Ethanol prodution from mucilage and pulp of processed coffee
Highlights
The present investigation is to evaluate ethanol production from coffee pulp and mucilage as coffee by-products, which was used as substrate
The main by-products from coffee processing are waste water, mucilage and pulp
The by-products are rich in carbohydrates useful for various purposes including the potential for ethanol production
Summary
Wort extracted from pulp and mucilage was fermented; molasses sugar was used to optimize in terms of concentration and increase reducing sugars for fermentation process; acid hydrolysis was performed to breakdown complex polysaccharides from pulp and mucilage into simple monomers. Dry yeasts used as Saccharomyces cerevisiae were rehydrated and supplemented by nutrients rich in nitrogen, magnesium and carbon before being pitching in the wort; appropriate materials for hermetic process of fermentation were used and regular controlled
