Ethyl Alcohol

Ethyl alcohol or ethanol can either be produced by direct fermentation of cane juice or from molasses, which is a by-product of the sugar manufacturing process. In India, ethanol can be produced only from molasses whereas, mills in Brazil produce ethanol directly from sugarcane juice. Ethanol can be used for potable alcohol industry, chemical industry and as a bio-fuel in vehicles (directblended with gasoline).
