The effects of mixing on batch alcohol fermentation of diluted solutions of starch hydrolysate is studied. The results of a limited number of samples simultaneously drawn at different locations in the reactor and after different reaction times have been used in a simple mathematical model to provide a, picture of the concentration distributions within the reaction environment. The optimal mixing conditions for the fermentation are met at rotation speeds between 1.7 and 5.0 s-1, while the broth homogeneity obviously increases indefinitely with increasing this parameter. This suggests. the existence of a shear stress for the biomass, whose effect increases. with the application time and seems to affect the process mainly at the end of the fermentation.
