Abstract:Sweet potato is a rustic culture, widely adapted and with a high starch content, thus having innumerable aptitudes. For the transformation of sweet potatoes into biofuel, some processes are necessary. The success of ethanol production from sweet potatoes depends on the transformation of starch into fermentable sugars. The most used conversion process is enzymatic hydrolysis, which uses commercially available enzymes. However, this process can be carried out through enzymes secreted by filamentous fungi.
