Product Inhibition During the Feeding Phase in Fed-Batch Ethanol Fermentation of Sugarcane Blackstrap Molasses
The following equations represent the influence of the ethanol concentration (E) on the specific growth rate of the yeast cells (mu) and on the specific production rate of ethanol (v) during the reactor filling phase in fed-batch fermentation of sugar-cane blackstrap molasses : mu = mu(0)-k . E and v=v(0) . K/(K+E)
