Title: Immobilized yeast for alcohol production

Journal Article · · Chem. Week; (United States)
OSTI ID:5050089

Construction of a pilot alcohol plant has been completed in Japan to test a new idea in fermentation that could cut the time required from three or four days to several hours. According to developers, the key is an unidentified radiation-cured polymer that is used to immobilize yeast, permitting the process to run continuously.
