Abstract
Ethanol and glycerol are both metabolic products of yeasts, There are occas
ions when coproduction of both is considered desirable in industrial operat
ions. In this article, we describe the potential of integrating the two pro
cesses. A LORRE Y8 yeast culture isolated from molasses is capable of effic
ient glycerol. production from glucose, and a yeast Culture 1400 is an exce
llent producer of ethanol. By controlling the process conditions, the ratio
of ethanol and glycerol production can be varied.
