How ethanol is mamufactured from molasses.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Sugar in the molasses (sucrose) is converted into glucose and fructose in the presence of the enzyme invertase.
`underset("Sucrose")(C_(2)H_(22)O_(11))+H_(2)O overset("Invertase")to underset("Glucose")(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))+underset("Fructose")(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))`
Glucose and fructose undergoes fermentation in the presence of enzyme zymose.
`underset("Glucose")(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)) overset("Zymase")to underset("Ethanol")(2C_(2)H_(5)OH)+2CO_(2)`
