“…The glucose content was much lower in the hydrolysate of E. coracana (22.9%), than in the untreated biomass (56.42%). In addition, it was established that among other studied feedstocks, finger millet possessed the second highest content of glucose after rice paddy (42.7%) [105].…”

“…That was done for rice paddy and biomass samples of finger millet, sweet sorghum and sugarcane (bagasse). Thirdly, the content of different monosaccharides in produced hydrolysates was studied before and after fermentation [105]. The total content of sugars in finger millet biomass hydrolysate was 8.29 g/L, which exceeded such value for sugar cane bagasse (7.09 g/L) but was lower than in the produced rice paddy (14.06 g/L) and sorghum straw (10.05 g/L) hydrolysates (Fig.…”

“…Recently, the possibility of fermentation of finger millet straw using white-rot fungus (Trametes versicolor) instead of S. cerevisiae has been reported [105]. T. versicolor is known for its ability to utilize well both 5-and 6-carbon sugars, which makes it a very desirable biocatalyst for the conversion of plant biomass into bioethanol [106].…”

“…Another attractive benefit of T. versicolor is its high tolerance to most common fermentation inhibitors such as levulinic acid, hydroxyl methyl furfural, fural and phenols, which are consumed by this fungus [107]. For their study, the authors chose the acidic pre-treatment method of biomass samples [105]. Firstly, to prepare 10 g of hydrolysate, dried and powdered plant material was dissolved in 80 mL of 1% sulfuric acid and then autoclaved for 20 min (121°C, 1.8 bar).…”

The current trend in volatile oil prices, global warming and environmental pollution, has encouraged major consumers worldwide to sharply increase their use of “green” fuels. Bioethanol is usually obtained from the conversion of carbon-based feedstock. Bioethanol from biomass sources is the principal fuel used as a fossil fuels’ substitute for road transport vehicles. Bioethanol is predominantly produced by the sugar fermentation process, although it can also be generated by the chemical process of reacting ethylene with steam. Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) is also known as Ragi (India), Kodo (Nepal), Uburo (Rwanda), Kurakkan (Srilanka), Bulo (Uganda), Kambale (Zambia) and Tamba (Nigeria) and can be used as an efficient source for bioethanol production. Despite all its importance, however, finger millet is still grossly undervalued both scientifically and internationally. This review observes current progress in bioethanol production from E. coracana feedstock and the effectiveness of various technological approaches for that. The main aspects of ethanol production from finger millet seeds have been considered. Seeds, which are already used for brewing, are the most obvious variant of feedstock for ethanol production from this crop. The conversion of finger millet straw and agricultural waste into bioethanol has also been reviewed. Practical results of development and testing the tentative technology of sweet sorghum and finger millet combined processing into bioethanol are described. The concept of the tentative technology of bioethanol production from carbohydrate raw material of the first and second generations is suggested.
