Using an efficient fermenting yeast enhances ethanol production from unfiltered wheat bran hydrolysates

Wheat bran, an abundant residue of the flour milling industry, is a promising feedstock for bioethanol production. The first objective of the present study was to define the optimised hydrolysis conditions for wheat bran that gave both high sugars concentration and little or no inhibitors formation. This low-cost material was subjected to acid treatment and then hydrolysed using increasing dosages of commercial enzymes.
