Trends in biotechnological production of fuel ethanol from different feedstocks.
TL;DR: The different technologies for producing fuel ethanol from sucrose-containing feedstocks (mainly sugar cane, starchy materials and lignocellulosic biomass) are described along with the major research trends for improving them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of bioethanol from sugarcane bagasse: status and perspectives.
TL;DR: In this article, the current and potential transformation of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) to sugar and ethanol is discussed. And stability is discussed for considering high nonlinear phenomena such as multiplicity and oscillations, which make more complex the control as a result of the inhibition problems during fermentation when furfural and formic acid from SCB hydrolysis are not absent.
