Sažetak
Fuel ethanol, which has a higher octane rating than gasoline, accounts for approximately two-thirds of the world’ s total annual ethanol production of more than 31 billion liter. The primary reasons for considering the expanded use of biofuel ethanol concern sustainable resource supply, enhanced security and the realization of macroeconomic benefits for rural communities and the economy at large. Bioethanol is generally produced from the fermentation of sugar or materials that can be converted into sugar such as starch or cellulose, with the ethanol extracted in its final form by distillation. One of the basic problems in the bioprocesses development is the optimization of initial experimental conditions. Considering that, there is a great deal of parameters that can influence the outcome of bioprocess, it is of general concern to find a good optimization method. Genetic algorithm (GA) is a stochastic optimization method based on the principals of evolution. Experimental optimization using GA was applied to investigate influence of the composition of synthetic culture medium on fermentation of sugars in the bioethanol production process.
