Two ethanol fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated from date juice and grapes and grown in YEPD medium. They were characterized for alcoholic fermentation using sugarcane molasses and their growth conditions were optimized with respect to pH and sugar concentration. Results revealed a temperature of 30ºC, pH 6.0 and 6.5% sugar concentration as optimum for fermentation. Stress tolerance tests showed that date juice isolate was highly tolerant to temperature, pH and high ethanol concentration in the medium. Under optimized conditions, S. cerevisiae isolated from date-juice produced 7.75% of ethanol in molasses as estimated by Conway method.Bangladesh J Microbiol, Volume 30, Number 1-2,June-Dec 2013, pp 49-54

Antioxidant enzyme catalase protects the cells against alcohol-induced oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals and metabolizing alcohol. Concentrations of ethanol present in alcoholic beverages can inhibit catalase and foster oxidative stress and alcohol-induced injury. Non-alcoholic components of pelinkovac counteract the inhibitory effects of high ethanol concentration and acidic pH on catalase in vitro.

The effect of ethanol on N-demethylation of aminopyrine in rat liver slices and in the microsomal fraction and on microsomal hydroxylation of pentobarbital and aniline was studied. With liver slices N-demethylation of aminopyrine was stimulated by 35–40% at low ethanol concentrations (2mm), whereas no stimulation occurred at high concentrations (100mm). With the liver microsomal fraction, an inhibitory effect was observed only at high ethanol concentrations (100mm). This was also observed with the other drugs studied. In agreement with these results, only at a high concentration did ethanol interfere with the binding of drug substrates to cytochrome P-450. Further, as previously reported, ethanol produced a reverse type I spectral change when added to the liver microsomal fraction. Evidence that this spectral change is due to removal of substrate, endogenously bound to cytochrome P-450, is reported. A dual effect of ethanol is assumed to explain the present findings; in liver slices, at a low ethanol concentration, the enhanced rate of drug oxidation is the result of an increased NADH concentration, whereas the inhibitory effect observed with the microsomal fraction at high ethanol concentration is due to the interference by ethanol with the binding of drug substrates to cytochrome P-450.

Abstract Sweet sorghum juice and traditional ethanol substrate i.e. sugarcane molasses were used for ethanol production in this work. At the end of the fermentation process, the sweet sorghum juice yielded more ethanol with higher ethanol concentration compared to sugarcane molasses in all experiments. The sweet sorghum juice had higher cell viability at high ethanol concentrations and minimum sugar concentration at the end of the fermentation process. The ethanol concentration and yield were 8.9% w/v and 0.45 g/g for sweet sorghum in 80 h and 6.5% w/v and 0.37 g/g for sugarcane molasses in 60 h, respectively. The findings on the physical properties of sweet sorghum juice revealed that it has better physical properties compared to sugarcane molasses, resulting to enhanced performance of sweet sorghum juice for ethanol production

Bioethanol is the most important biofuel produced by fermentation of sugars from various biomass types. The main disadvantages associated to this process consist in the negative effect of high ethanol concentration on the cell growth and in the separation cost of ethanol-water system resulted in the fermentation process. Sugar fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast coupled with bioethanol recovery by pervaporation has been modeled and simulated in this paper. In order to avoid the clogging of pervaporation membrane, the yeast cells were previously retained into an ultrafiltration unit. Three operating modes were analyzed and compared, i.e., classical batch fermentation (BF), batch fermentation coupled with external ultrafiltration and pervaporation (BFPV), and fed batch fermentation coupled with external ultrafiltration and pervaporation (FBFPV). Surface areas of ultrafiltration and pervaporation units were selected as process control variables.
