Question

Which is profitable ethanol from molasses or ethanol from sugar cane juce

Answer 1

Experimental results of producing ethanol from molasses showed high alcohol yield, especially when urea (as a nutrient source) and sugars were used at 0.25% and 20% (w/v) concentrations, respectively. That formulation gave 11% (w/v) ethanol in fermented mash. After distillation, the volume of ethanol produced was 20 ml per 100 g of molasses, these conditions were considered suitable for yeast activity and high yield of alcohol.
