Abstract
Carbohydrate or material containing carbohydrate such as cereal, corn, rice, sorghum, potato and the like including Biomass and other sources of cellulose or non-fermentable sugars, is mixed with water and heated in the presence of a surfactant, typically a non-ionic detergent. The process may avoid the need for a subsequent pressure cooking step prior to fermentation to yield alcohol.
