USE OF SYNERGISTIC FORMULATIONS CONTAINING STABILIZED CHLORINE DIOXIDE AND PEROXIDE TO REDUCE GROWTH OF CONTAMINANT MICROORGANISMS IN ETHANOL FERMENTATION

摘要

A method for controlling growth of contaminant microorganisms in a fermentation process using a combination of (a) stabilized chlorine dioxide (SCD) and (b) a peroxide compound (PC). The method comprises adding SCD and PC to one or more steps of a fermentation process. In this method, the SCD and PC may be added to one or more components of a fermentation broth comprising inoculant, fermentable sugar and process water.
