By substituting the relevant values into Eqs. (9) and (10), D20 and
DT0 were calculated to be 0.29 h1 and 0.11 h1.
2.6. Calculation of ethanol yield
The ethanol yield was calculated by assuming that 1 g glucose or
fructose yields 0.511 g ethanol. The ethanol yields based on the
fermentable sugars in the sugar beet raw juice and thick juice were
calculated as follow:
