The ethanol yield (YEthanol) was calculated assuming that 1 g of
glucose present in the liquid would theoretically give 0.511 g of
ethanol and 1 g of cellulose give 1.11 g of glucose. The ethanol
yield (YEthanol) was calculated according to:where CelluloseS (g) is the amount of cellulose in the substrate, CelluloseR
is the amount of cellulose in the residual solid after SSF (g),
determined after strong acid hydrolysis, and GlucoseR is the unfermented
glucose in the liquor after SSF, determined directly by HPLC
