well i am working with yeast to produce ethanol but i am a little confused what 0-5% ethanol is i mean how many grams per litre is it equal to and basically using this information how may i calculate ethanol yield. Sorry guys I am quite new to this topic but i will really appreciate your reply. If its okay may i have one example of how to calculate yield? I attached my calculations for ethanol concentration in the file i uploaded, it is on sheet 2. Thank You.
There are several ways to calculate ethanol yield from yeasts, but the most import factor is a reference standard or yield relative to a consistent sample. Please consult these review articles, as they contain several methods for accurately measuring ethanol for comparison between yeast.
Yes the molecular weight is very important in the calculation of the yield.
