1) As Ethanol is formed, it is converted to Acetaldehyde at a rate of 0.99 µmol/min/ml
2) Ethanol concentration after 6 hours of incubation = 11.8 g/L
3) Fermented amount of Frutose = 40 grams
4) Total Solvent volume = 2000 ml
Dear Mr. Ivanilo,
It depends on type of microorganism.
In yeast like Saccharomyces sp., fermentation of 1 hexoses (6 C atoms) like fructose by Saccharomyces sp. results 2 ethanol + 2 CO2.
So you can calculate the mM of ethanol produced by Saccharomyces from fermentation of fructose.
For example:
If the conc. of fructose in the medium is 83.3 mM, the expected mM (theoretical value) of ethanol is 166.6 mM; from fermentation whole amount of fructose in the medium.
I hope i answer your question.
All the best !
Dear Dr. Elshaghabee,
Thank you for your response. It has completely clarified my doubts.
Best Regards,
