Study on the Property of Canna edulis Ker & Its Application in Ethanol Fermentation

The amylum content in Canna edulis Ker was as high as 58.85 %～62.83 %.Besides,Canna edulis Ker also contained abundant protein,fat,phosphate and cellulose etc.Through the analysis of viscosity curve of amylum,burning temperature and fermenting mash and the study of the change rules of total sugar,reducing sugar,total yeast quantity,and alcohol content,it was found that ethanol production with Canna edulis Ker as raw materials was feasible.(Tran.by YUE Yang)
