“…Also the wet sample of bitter kola pulp waste has been used for the production of ethanol (Akin-Osanaiye et al (2005b). The production of ethanol using molasses have also been reported by Bilford (1942) and Bose and Ghose (1973). Most pretreatment approaches do not hydrolyze significant amount of the cellulose fraction of biomass, pretreatment enables more efficient enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulose by removal of the surrounding hemicellulose and/or lignin along with modification structure.…”

Optimization options for production of ethanol from bitter kola (Garcinia kola) pulp wastes were investigated. The methods are degumming, saccharification, acid hydrolysis, alkaline hydrolysis. Degumming was effectively achieved at 96 h of saccaharification. The concentration of reducing sugar for the treated sample (acid hydrolysed and saccharification) and control sample (saccharification) was maximum at 144 h (86.2 g/100g) and 96 h (31.5 g/100 g), respectively. Ethanol yield from treated sample and control sample using baker's yeast was maximum at 120 h (70.7 g/L) and 192 h (29.3 g/L), respectively. Alkaline hydrolysis with 0.25 M sodium hydroxide has no significant effect on concentration of reducing sugar and ethanol yield. Acid hydrolysis with 2.5 M sulphuric acid and saccharification using Aspergillus niger are better methods for optimizing ethanol production from bitter kola pulp waste. Solar drying of the bitter kola pulp waste significantly enhanced ethanol production.

“…Included are single-vessel systems with and without recycling, multivessel systems with from 2 to 12 vessels in series, two-phase systems and others which display major and minor modifications of these principles. Bilford et al (1942) investigated a single-vessel continuous alcoholic fermentation process on a laboratory scale. Their tests were run in a small fermentor agitated either mechanically or with carbon dioxide.…”

“…The very important problems concerning fermentation kinetics have only recently received some attention (Calam et al, 1951;Gaden, 1955aGaden, , b, 1956Borzani, 1957;Kosin, 1957). In the particular case of continuous alcoholic fermentation, a great number of papers have been published (Alzola, 1940(Alzola, , 1945Bilford et al, 1942;Owen, 1948;Asai et al, 1952Asai et al, , 1953Mariller et al, 1952; Borzani, 1953Borzani, , 1957Ueda et al, 1954;Ueda, 1955a, b) but only one (Borzani, 1957) gives some attention to the kinetics of the process. In that article (Borzani, 1957) the author postulates an empirical equation relating the fermentation cycle time (T, hr) of a complete continuous fermentation and the concentration of total reducing sugars (C, g per L) of the feeding mash: T = 2.08 X 10-3C2…”
