Abstract:23.7%。In order to enhance the alcohol yield of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DJ02, the preliminary fermentation conditions were optimized by single factor test. The results indicated that the fermentation conditions were: agar volume 80mL, inoculum concentration 11%, initial pH value 5.5, temperature 20℃, fermentation time 8d. The influence of twenty kinds of Chinese herbs, such as Pericarpium citri reticulatae, as promoting factors on the alcohol yield of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DJ02 was investigated. The influence of six kinds of Chinese herbs including Amomum villosum Lour on the alcohol yield of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DJ02 were significant. The optimum fermentation conditions were determined by plackettBurman design and response surface analysis. The optimum level of these fermentation conditions were: temperature 22℃, culture volume 75.0mL, pH value 5.71, fermentation time 8d, Amomum villosum Lour concentration 1.0%. The alcohol yield of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DJ02 was 16.92%, which was enhanced 23.7%.
