Process for production of bioethanol using Saccharomyces cerevisiae supported on calcium alginate beads coated with chitosan using citric acid
The production of bioethanol using immobilized cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in calcium alginate beads coated with chitosan furnished excellent yields in bioethanol production, 80.5-95.7%, and the use of citric acid and addional calcium chloride in medium promot more stability of beads.
