Abstract

Surface response methodology was used to study the effects of three variables, viz. total reducing sugars (116–222 g l −1), yeast inoculum concentration (10–30%) and supplemented inorganic nitrogen as (NH 4) 2SO 4 (1–3 g l −1) on the production of ethanol. The complete and incomplete factorial designs (3 3) were compared through the residual analysis of variance. Since there was no statistically significant difference at the 5% level, on the basis of cost-efficiency and space limitations, it was recommended to use incomplete factorial design constituting 12 treatments with three repetitions in central point totalling 15 experiments which control the batch alcoholic fermentation.
