dc.description.abstract | The constant exhausting of non-renewable fuels has been placed to the investigation of new
processes for the production of ethanol in order to compensate the world demand for bioethanol,
therefore, in the present study, the main objective was to obtain bioethanol by enzymatic and acid
hydrolysis from sweet potato starch, being the independent variables such as: starch
concentration and alpha amylase enzyme. The variables studied were: starch yield and hydrolysis
time with hydrochloric and citric acids, as well as enzymatic hydrolysis time; These two were
selected because they directly affect the amount of sugars formed, which will be used by yeasts
to later obtained ethyl alcohol. The parameters to considered are: ° Brix and pH. Obtaining alcohol
was carried out in three stages. The first one was to obtained sweet potato starch (Ipomoea
batata), achieving a production of 74, 27 %. In the second stage, the starch obtained was
subjected to gelatinization, after cooling, we submit it to hydrolysis with hydrochloric and citric
acids, and also make the same thing for the enzymatic hydrolysis, to convert the starch into
glucose and compare between them. The third stage was fermentation which lasted 72 hours
straight, all the experiences remained in fermentation for the same time, to be able to appreciate
the variations that occur both in ° Brix and pH. Through a statistical analysis of the results, it
determinate that the best treatment is to use the acid route. From the experience given, it can be
seen that we obtained a higher alcoholic degree by using enzymatic hydrolysis, which result is
32°GL. Finally, it can be told that is possible to obtain ethanol from the acidic and enzymatic
hydrolysis of sweet potato starch | |
