Abstract

In the present scenario, the demand for fossil fuel has become a fundamental issue for mankind across the globe. To render adequate the energy demand for transport, the mixing of bioethanol with gasoline has been a promising aspect in India as well as other developing and developed countries. The potential of co-products and transitional products of sugar beet processing as raw material for bioethanol production has a tremendous scope in view of the demand for ethanol as an alternative for fossil fuel. Molasses is one of the important by-products of sugar beet or sugarcane refining industries which can be utilized as a raw material in the fermentation industry, such as the production of feed yeasts, baker’s yeast, antibiotics, citric acid, amino acids, acetone/butanol, organic acids, and enzymes. Sugar beet molasses are enriched with different minerals and vitamins used as a potent medium to enhance the shelf life of fruits and vegetables through osmotic dehydration. Evaluation of molasses for their industrial application cannot be based on their chemical composition and origin as various benchmarks are established for their use in different processes. The utilization of molasses as the sole carbon source in a particular process, pre-treatment of molasses, and removal of inhibitor should be prerequisites. Calcium carbonate is used as a pre-treatment agent for the neutralization of the molasses during yeast and methanol production. However, for various other processes, they are boiled in an acidic or alkaline medium and separated out from the precipitate. For the citric acid, production molasses are boiled with potassium ferrocyanide and generally fermented together with precipitate. Currently, in India, sugarcane molasses is being used for the production of bioethanol, but cannot fulfil the demand for bioethanol. Therefore, the crop residues such as sugar beet molasses may be explored for biofuel production to meet the demand for alternative and renewable energy sources. In the rapid urbanization and industrial development, bioethanol production from agricultural wastes provides economic as well as environmental benefits. The present status of bioethanol production in India can be encouraged by the development of new low-cost technology for the bioconversion of agricultural wastes which might be helpful for economic and environmental insights.
