Screening of Yeasts for Fermentation of Jerusalem Artichoke Tubers Juice and Selection of the Active Strains for Ethanol Production

Strains K.marxianus Y-303,Oenoferm credo,Oenoferm rouge,Sacch.vini Rkaseteli-6,Sacch.cerevisiae XII and Sacch.uvarum 73 were used for fermentation of juice,extracted from Jerusalem artichoke tubers grown in Uzbekistan.The fermentation process was carried out in laboratory conditions.Among these yeasts Oenoferm credo,Oenoferm rouge and Sacch.uvarum 73 showed higher performance than K.marxianus Y-303 and the ethanol yields were 92%,90%and 88%,respectively.After 72 h fermentation with Sacch.vini Rkaseteli-6 and Sacch.cerevisiae XII the yield of ethanol was 82%and 74%of maximum theoretical yield,respectively.

Studying the Curing Conditions of Unsaturated Polyesters from Secondary Polyethylene Terephthalate Alcoholysis Products

The technological properties of the curing conditions for unsaturated polyesters synthesized on the basis of the alcoholysis products of secondary polyethylene terephthalate and unsaturated polyesters used in the production of fiberglass pipes were studied. It is shown that unsaturated polyesters synthesized on the basis of alcoholysis products can completely replace imported resins of grades 196 and 196A in the production of fiberglass pipes.
