3.3. Ethanol production
The volume and ethanol concentration of the fractions collected
during the distillation of the fermented broths are shown in Table
3. As expected, the body fractions presented the largest volumes
among the three fractions. The ethanol concentrations were higher
for the head and body fractions. Ethanol production for the series
of experiments with juice diluted to 8–10 Bx and complemented
with molasses up to 12 Bx are shown in Table 3.
