A maximum ethanol productivity of 19.0 g/(L h) was obtained at a dilution rate of 0.36 h−1 with an average immobilized yield of 87.0% during the continuous fermentation of blackstrap molasses in a 1 L packed bed reactor. Since the applications of immobilized cells on TSC shows the potential benefits for ethanol production, the further investigation of the continuous ethanol fermentations using immobilized yeast cells on TSC in a pilot scale is ongoing in order to determine the applicability of commercial practices.
