Production of Cellulosic Ethanol from Wood Sawdust by Sulphuric acid Hydrolysis
Abstract: In this study, production of cellulosic ethanol from wood sawdust was investigated. Four experimental parameters were investigated during the hydrolysis and ethanol production. These are particle size (1–3 mm), acid concentration (3–7%), temperature (90–110°C), and time(120–240 min). The total reduced sugar content and ethanol yield was determined. Response surface methodology (RSM) employing the central composite design (CCD) was used to optimize the total reduced sugar and ethanol yield. Cite this …

An Overview of Bioinformatics
Abstract: What is bioinformatics? Biology and computer science? How are they related to each other? This question, I believe, could have been raised even in the nineteenth century, when computer and biological technologies were just emerging. The great Louis Pasteur (1822–1895) was researching the relationship between the presence of a particular microorganism and alcohol fermentation in a particular French city. Ada Lovelace, a mathematician who shared Charles Babbage’s vision, was attempting …

Impact of Storage Methods and Duration on Sugar and Starch Content and Ethanol Yield of Sweet Potatoes [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam]
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that ‘industrial’ sweet potatoes can be an excellent feedstock for ethanol production as compared to corn, sorghum and other potential feedstocks. However, starch content can be affected by cultivars as well as storage conditions. Ideally, it is practical that sweet potato storage roots be processed for ethanol production as close to harvest as possible, but this may not always be the case and some amount of …
