Kinetic modeling of the simultaneous production of ethanol and fructose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Background: Ethanol and fructose are two important industrial products that enjoy many uses. In this contribution, their production via selective fermentation of date extract using Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. Scaling up the process for possible commercialization was investigated in three fermen...
