Laboratory Production of Alcohol from Apple Cider

Klaus Dölle, Lingkun Li & Botao Zhao · Asian Journal of Applied Chemistry Research · 2026

Apple cider (AC) is inexpensive, widely available, and does not compete directly with the food supply. It is also rich in fermentable sugars, making it an attractive feedstock for second-generation bioethanol. This study examined how aeration affects ethanol yield when fresh-pres...

Laboratory Production of Biogas from Apple Pomace

Klaus Dölle, Lingkun Li & Botao Zhao · Journal of Energy Research and Reviews · 2026

Apple processing generates substantial quantities of pomace waste, comprising approximately 25–30% of the processed fruit dry mass. This inexpensive, non-food-competing residue retains a substantial fermentable carbohydrate content, making it an attractive feedstock for biogas pr...
