Production of Alcohol from Apple Pomace

Production of ethyl alcohol from apple pomace with a Montrachet strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is described. More than 43 g of the ethyl alcohol could be produced per kg of apple pomace fermented at 30°C in 24 h. The fermentation efficiency of this process was approximately 89%.
