A METHOD TO PRODUCE ETHANOL USING WHOLE STILLAGE

摘要

A method of producing ethanol is disclosed. The method includes fermentation of carbohydrates from multiple byproduct feedstocks simultaneously during the same fermentation batch by application of a bacterial microbe which converts said carbohydrates to ethanol. A method of producing ethanol from whole stillage is also disclosed comprising converting multiple carbohydrates from multiple feedstocks simultaneously into ethanol without pre-treatment and without added enzymes. A method of producing ethanol with the application of a microbe from the Order Lactobacillales to a byproduct to produce ethanol is also disclosed.
