Question: In a fermentation process, Saccharomyces sp . is used to digest glucose C 6 H 1 2 O 6 to produce ethanol and propenoic acid.
In a fermentation process, Saccharomyces sp is used to digest glucose to
produce ethanol and propenoic acid. Overall, the process will produce ethanol
carbon dioxide propenoic acid and water There
are two separate competitive reactions simultaneously, one is producing ethanol &
carbon dioxide and the other one will produce propenoic acid & water. In a typical
batch process, the tank is fed with kg of a of glucosewater by mass
along with kg of At the end of the fermentation process, there are kg
of water. Selectivity of ethanol is given as
a Derive both stoichiometric equation for ethanol production and propenoic acid
production respectively.
