ABSTRACT.
Three experimental sweet sorghum varieties (M81, Topper and Theis) and three post-harvest conditions were evaluated for ethanol production: juices extracted by milling were obtained from the whole plant, plant without panicle, and stalk (plant without panicle and leaves), respectively. A linear relationship was found between the total fermentable sugar concentrations and Brix degrees of the juices, which can predict the potential ethanol yield by field analytical tests. The juice extractability presented different behavior among the sweet sorghum varieties with respect to the treatments studied. However such treatments did not affect the level of sugar concentration of the juices obtained and the fermentation efficiency. Topper and Theis showed the best performance in terms of ethanol concentration, fermentation efficiency and ethanol yield. The variety used and its post-harvest treatment should be appropriately selected in order to improve the ethanol production from sweet sorghum.
