Effect of edta, potassium ferrocyanide and sodium potassium tartarate on production of ethanol from jaggery
Effect of chelating agents, which include EDTA, Potassium Ferrocyanide and Sodium Potassium tartarate on ethanol production from jaggery using Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM 3241, was tested. It was found that addition of chelating agents along with inoculum gave better results and among the three chelating agents EDTA resulted in 72g11 of ethanol, which is 33.3% more when compared to the control.
