Abstract:The tung tree (Vernicia fordii Hemsl.), as a woody oilseed crop, has been cultivated in China for thousands of years, and its leaves are rich in cellulose and proteins. The tung leaf is an alternative raw material for the traditional ethanol fermentation of food crops. In this work, the effects of the simultaneous saccharification fermentation of tung leaves at different substrate concentrations on gas production characteristics, reducing sugars, pH, oxidation–reduction potential (ORP), and ethanol yield were … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
