From 12% (w/w) of fresh potato peel, about 20 mg/mL ethanol was formed in the supernatant via amylase, pectinase, or an enzyme complex; this yield was slightly increased with combinations of these enzymes. Supplementation of substandard mash to potato peel (1:1) as a raw material enhanced the amount of ethanol formation, increasing it to approximately 50 mg/mL by the mixture of all three enzymes. After the addition of yeast and glucoamylase to the partially saccharified material, ethanol formation proceeded gradually and slowed in 12 h with the consumption of fermentable sugars. Galacturonic acid derived from pectin was not fermented and remained in the fermented broth. In the by-products, the conversion rate of sugars to ethanol was estimated to be 42.5%.}, pages = {653--658}, title = {Enzymatic Hydrolysis and Ethanol Fermentation of By-Products from Potato Processing Plants}, volume = {15}, year = {2009} }
