Production of Ethanol from Rice Straw using Xylose Fermenting Yeast Isolates
Abstract: With increasing energy demand world-over, there is a need to develop cost effective technologies for the production of bio fuels using renewable sources such as lignocellulosic biomass. However, ethanol productivity is still low and the process is not economically viable. The major limiting factors include the complex and highly crystalline structure of lignocellulosics, low loading rate during saccharification and low amount of hexose and pentose sugars generated during saccharification. Distiller’s …

Ethanol Production by Xylose Fermenting Yeast Cultures Using a Mixture of Dextrose and Xylose
Abstract: Ever-increasing demand for motor fuels has led to the search for alternate sources of energy world over. Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant, renewable source which is being replenished through photosynthesis. In many developed countries, a number of “Biorefineries” have been set up to produce ethanol from plant biomass. However, ethanol productivities are still low. Moreover, distiller’s ethanologenic yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot utilize pentoses, with the result that about 30% …

Optimization of Red Pigment Yield from Monscus purpureus Solid State Fermentation (Isolation and Characterization of Monscus purpureus and Optimization of its Red Pigment Production)
Abstract: Natural pigments production is one of the important approaches recently for being natural and having therapeutic properties. Monscus purpureus was isolated from imported red yeast rice, characterized and propagated on local rice as solid state culture. Morphological characteristics which include colonies, ascosporous and conidial stage were used to identify the fungi besides its red pigment production. Red pigment was produced using 10% of seed culture of Monescus purpureus, incubated at …
