“…The overall sugar yield by combined hydrolysis method (acid treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis) reached 80% of the theoretical and it consisted of 13.5 g arabinose, 22.8 g xylose and 16.7 g glucose per 100 g starch-free bran. In addition to using WB as sole source for ethanol production, it can also be used as a nutritive supplement for ethanol production by Zymomonas mobilis rather than the synthetic supplements (Shamala and Sreekantiah, 1988). Moreover WB can also act as potential substrate for biobutanol production, which may be used as a replacement for gasoline (Liu et al, 2010).…”

Wheat bran, a by-product of wheat milling industry, is the outermost covering of wheat grain. It has relatively diverse application in food, feed, medicine and fermentation industries due to its richness in carbohydrates (mostly fibers), protein and fats which makes it an important dietary element. Its importance from medical view point is well documented especially in reducing blood plasma cholesterol and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers, that is, colon cancer. In fermentation industry, wheat bran can be used as a substrate for production of a range of products such as biomass, enzyme, biofuel and production of other metabolites. In short wheat bran has immense applications and market value which makes it so important to be considered as brown gold.

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.
