Reviews
“A book that is a significant and timeless contribution to an area of both academic and industrial importance that certainly will have a place in the future energetic footprint of humankind.” – Dr. Boris U. Stambuk
“This book synthesizes what is the best in the world in etanol production: from the process improvements to yeast selection.” – Dr. Henrique V. Amorim
“I believe that this book addresses the main aspects involved in the production of bioethanol, from the raw materials currently used, as well as those aspects related to the enzymes and microorganisms necessary for the transformation of these into bioethanol. It also addresses issues related to production bottlenecks and the environmental problems to be observed when producing this biofuel. It is an important contribution to the area’s scientists, who will find in this text a north to act on the frontier of knowledge.” – Dr. Luciane M. Colla
