OPF juice was used as the carbon source for the effective bioethanol production by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kyokai No. 7 (ATCC 26622).

Bioethanol and residual sugars concentration were determined by using HPLC analysis. The optimum conditions for bioethanol production were proposed to be medium initial pH (6.60), temperature (33°C) and agitation speed (96 rpm). Based on the validation experiment, the optimum bioethanol yield was 0.50 ±0.02 g/ g sugars and this value was in close agreement with the model prediction where the difference was only 4.17%.

The average bioethanol yield of ten successive batches at 75% drain and fill volume were 0.41 g/ g sugars.
