Bio-butanol fermentation using clostridium acetobutylicum and clostridium tetanomorphum in modified bioreactor flasks
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)An alternative new generation biofuel to bio-ethanol has attracted researchers to investigate various approaches for optimization of traditional ABE fermentation to enable bio-butanol to be produced cheaper at an industrial ... -
Bioethanol from cassava for a community project
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2010)Although the North-West Province of South Africa is renowned for its platinum industry, wildlife tourism and Casino resorts, its people are among the poorest in South Africa. The Thusanang community project concept was ... -
Ethanol production from sweet sorghum
(North-West University, 2012)The use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming and there is a consequent need to resort to clean and renewable fuels. The major concerns with using agricultural crops for the production of energy are food and water ... -
Fermentation coupled with pervaporation : a kinetic study
(North-West University, 2011)Ethanol production through biomass fermentation is one of the major technologies available to produce liquid fuel from renewable energy sources. A major problem associated with the production of ethanol through fermentation ... -
Isolation of fungi from dung of wild herbivores for application in bioethanol production
(Elsevier, 2017)Producing biofuels such as ethanol from non-food plant material has the potential to meet transportation fuel requirements in many African countries without impacting directly on food security. The current shortcomings ... -
Liminal presence of exo-microbes inoculating coconut endosperm waste to enhance black soldier fly larval protein and lipid
(Springer, 2020)The anaerobic decomposition of coconut endosperm waste (CEW), residue derived from cooking, has been insidiously spewing greenhouse gasses. Thus, the bioconversion of CEW via in situ fermentation by exo-microbes from ... -
Optimization of maize starch fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae using pervaporation
(North-West University, 2010)Due to the depletion of petroleum reserves and environmental concerns, bioethanol has been identified as an alternative fuel to petrol. Bioethanol is a fuel of bio-origin derived from renewable biomass. Starch and sugar ... -
PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of microbial community in soy-daddawa, a Nigerian fermented soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) condiment
(Elsevier, 2016)Soy-daddawa, a fermented soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) condiment, plays a significant role in the culinary practice of West Africa. It is essential to understand the microbial community of soy-daddawa for a successful ... -
Production of citric acid from the fermentation of pineapple waste by Aspergillus niger
(Bentham Open, 2019)Background: Citric acid, aside its uses as a cleaning agent, has varied applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. A biotechnological fermentation process is one of the easiest ways to satisfy the ... -
Production of ethanol from sweetstem sorghum and tropical sugar beet for a rural community
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)Rural communities in the North West Province of South Africa are among the poorest in the world with an average income of less than ZAR 8.75 (EU 0.875) per day. The South African government has committed itself to upliftment ...
