Assessment of biofuel potential of the red variety of cashew apple
Abstract:The present study aims to enhance agroforestry resources and reduce postharvest losses through the bioconversion of cashew apple juice from red morphotype into bioethanol by alcoholic fermentation for its use as biofuel. To do this, fermentative performance of the yeasts Saccharomyces carlsbergensis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae on cashew apple juice from red morphotype were investigated. Results from monitoring of fermentation kinetic parameters such as acidity, Brix degree, pH and density, indicated a great v… Show more
