Abstract:Ethanol production is growing annually. However, as a negative aspect of this growth occurs a competition between the production of alcohol and food. Among the alternatives for the production of ethanol, the Cyperus esculentus presents approximately 32% of starch. The starch must undergo the hydrolysis process, in which the breaking of the polymer chains of the starch occurs and thus the formation of reducing sugars. In this work, the hydrolysis of the starch present in Cyperus esculentus through the phosphori… Show more
