This study was conducted in three phases: (1) a control fermentation
of soybean molasses diluted with S. cerevisiae inoculum with
no added enzyme, (2) enzymatic hydrolysis of SM followed by fermentation
with S. cerevisiae and (3) simultaneous SM enzymatic
hydrolysis and fermentation. For all of the experiments, the following
parameters were measured: the total sugars at the beginning
of fermentation (TS0), the residual sugar at the end of fermentation
(RS) and the amount of ethanol at the end of alcoholic fermentation.
The Y1 and Y2 yields were also determined for each experiment.
