Process oscillation is the main challenge in continuous very high gravity(VHG)ethanol fermentation
which could result in oscillation and decrease of ethanol concentration.In the present study
during continuous VHG ethanol fermentation by free cell Saccharomyces cerevisiae 4126 and self-flocculating yeast BHL01
sustained process oscillations of biomass
residual glucose
ethanol and glycerol
were observed with a period of 130—145 h.Furthermore
in the self-flocculating yeast system
ethanol concentration and productivity were higher than those in the free yeast system.VHG oscillation was significantly attenuated and then a quasi-steady state was developed instead
when gas stripping with fermentative off-gas was used to separate ethanol during continuous VHG ethanol fermentation by self- flocculating yeast.Finally
the residual glucose kept below 0.1 g·L-1
and ethanol concentration and productivity were 110.87 g·L-1 and 2.99 g·L-1·h-1
respectively.The present study provides a new strategy for the attenuation of oscillation in continuous VHG ethanol fermentation.
