Researchers successfully used the Neurospora intermedia in the production of Ethanol from leftover bread. The only additions to this process were water, heat, and one-half of the recommended amount of liquefaction enzyme.
Cannabinoid sciences have been one of the most thriving platforms, leading the world in providing therapeutic, and potential breakthrough treatments for patients and clients seeking revolution in disease treatment. Ethanol is the essential building block for all manufacturing facilities that produce small and large quantities of CBD as a drug product.
Politics and the environment will continue to be the drivers for the development of alternative, non-fossil fuel energy sources, and ethanol remains in competition with others such as electric and wind, but there are enormous incentives in middle-America for the continued rise of ethanol in the field.
The Many Uses of Food Grade Ethanol Food grade ethyl alcohol, otherwise referred to in the industry as food grade ethanol, undenatured alcohol, grain alcohol, 190 proof grain, or anhydrous ethanol, is an ethyl alcohol that is deemed safe for consumption, as opposed to denatured alcohol which contains toxic additives that make it unsuitable for […]
What is Ethanol? Also called Ethyl Alcohol or Grain Alcohol, ethanol is a colorless liquid that is a slightly toxic and flammable organic compound with a chemical formula that contains “2 atoms of carbon, six hydrogens, and one oxygen” C₂H₅OH. Ethanol is one of the essential carbon compounds in the chemical industry. It is used […]
Ethanol could have more to do with your protein intake than you may realize. Specifically, ethanol can influence the two most critical elements of protein nutrition: bioavailability and flavor. Maybe you have a mimosa with your eggs, white wine with your fish, and red wine with your steak. What if I told you ethanol can […]
What Drives Ethanol Demand? China is currently the third largest producer of ethanol (4% of global production) a year, which is far behind the United States (54%) and Brazil (30%) as the first and second producers. China’s crude oil consumption reached 648 million tons (2018) and 70% of this is depended on outside suppliers. It […]
Spirt Extracts Spirit One of the many aliases of ethanol is spirit. Purportedly, in the early history of distillation, the “spirit” of the liquid was observed to leave the fermentation brew. The distillate – or spirit – could then be used by early chemists as an extraction solvent for botanicals. It was an early method […]
Ethanol production is currently limited by low efficiency and high energy processes with the dominant process also using agriculture products that require water, chemicals, and take away from the food supply. With droughts and flooding happening more regularly across the United States and the world, new approaches for ethanol production are of particular interest. Ethanol […]
What Does it Mean to be “Food Grade?” In 2014, the food blogger known as Food Babe famously created commotion on the internet with her petition to have “the yoga mat compound” azodicarbonamide removed from Subway bread. Azodicarbonamide is an approved food additive, used as a whitening agent for flour and a dough conditioner in […]
