Conteúdo: | cassava is a plant native to Brazil and other South American contries, but it has been introduced into many other tropical regions. The plant offers an inexpensive source of starch for the production of alcohol but the lack of a suitable sacharifying agent has been the main reason for its not being exploited more fully for this purpose. With acid hydrolysis, alcohol yields of 43 to 74% of the theoretical have been reporteted; convercion with barley malt has resulted in yields of 70 to 74% of the theoretical, and equivalent amouts of corn malt have produced lower yields. When mold bran preparations have been used for conversion, yields of 80 to 85% of the theoretical have been obtained. Results reported in this paper show it is possible to obtain plant efficiencies of 90% from cassava mashes converted with submerged fungal cultures.
