Two stage processes prior to ethanol production has been proposed which is hydrolysis and fermentation. Commercial enzymes were used in this two steps hydrolysis; α-amylase (liquefaction step) and glucoamylase (saccharification step). Optimization was carried out in both stages; hydrolysis and ferme...
