Inhibition by secondary feed components can limit productivity and restrict process options for the production of ethanol by fermentation. New fermentation processes (such as vacuum or extractive fermentation), while selectively removing ethanol, can concentrate nonmetabolized feed components in the remaining broth. Stillage recycle to reduce stillage waste treatment results in the buildup of nonmetabolized feed components. Continuous culture experiments were presented establishing an inhibition order: CaCl2, (NH4)2SO4 > NaCl, NH4Cl > KH2PO4 > xylose, MgCl2 > MgSO4 > KCl. Reduction of the water activity alone is not an adequate predictor of the variation in inhibitory concentration among the different components tested. As a general trend, specific ethanol productivity increases and cell production decreases as inhibitors are added at higher concentration. These results can be interpreted in terms of an increase in energy requirements for cell maintenance under hypertonic (stressed) conditions. Ion and carbohydrate transport and specific toxic effects were reviewed as they relate to the postulated inhibition mechanism. Glycerol production increases under hypertonic conditions and glycerol is postulated to function as a nontoxic osmoregulator. Ca was the most inhibitory component tested, causing an 80% decline in cell mass production at 0.23 mol Ca2+/l and Ca is present at substantial concentration in many carbohydrate sources. For a typical final cane molasses feed, stillage recycle must be limited to < 1/3 of the feed rate; otherwise inhibitory effects will be observed.
