Abstract

Alcohol fermentation was carried out by using the yeast (S. cerevisiae) and soybean whey as the sole carbon source. The whey was gained form waste after manufacturing of soybean curd. The whey contained approximately one gram sugar per hundred mililter and the sugar was consisted of a 65 per cent of reducing sugar. However, it showed a low protein content of 43mg per the same volume. Ammonium sulfate showed the best effect on the generation of carbon dioxide among three kinds of tested nitrogen sourogen sources, potassium nitrate, urea and ammonium sulfate. Thus, fermentation was carried out with supplement of 2.0g ammonium sulfate to one liter of soybean whey. During fermentation continued for 48 hours, the maximum amount of ethanol 1.86g was produced from one liter of soybean whey. The ethanol fermentation utilized 81 and 94% of its initial sugar and protein contents, respectively.

폐액으로 방류되는 두부 폐수(whey)를 이용하여 alcohol 발효를 실시하였으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. whey중(中)에 함유(含有)된 환원당은 약 0.71%로서 이당(糖)을 이용(利用)하며 l당(當) 최대(最大) 1.86 g의 ethanol이 생산(生産)되었으나 수률(收率)이 낮아서 경제성은 희박하다. 그러나 발효에 의해서 단백질과 당이 각각 94%, 81%만큼이나 감소한 결과(結果)로 미루어 보아 두부 폐수중(廢水中)의 유기물(有機物)을 alcohol 발효(醱酵)에 이용(利用)할 수 있음을 확인(確認)하였다.
