- “Bioethanol production from rice washing drainage and rice bran derived from a rinse-free process of rice manufacturing was established using the combinations of an enzymatic procedure and an ultra-sonic procedure of rice washing drainage for a sample pre-treatment.”1
Researchers from Graduate School of Material Science, Hiroshima Kokusai Gakuin University, Nakano, Hiroshima, Japan; Satake Co Ltd, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Japan; Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Co Ltd, Plant and Transportation System Engineering & Construction Center, Mihara, Hiroshima, Japan; and Shokkyo Co Ltd, Asakita-Ku, Hiroshima, Japan; have presented an article titled: “Bioethanol production from rice washing drainage and rice bran.”
The researchers from Hiroshima, Japan, have also noted:
- “The maximum ethanol concentration was attained at 6.2% (v/v).”
