Besides, I have upload the fermentation process flow diagram so that all of us can have it as a reference. All the best.

The blog is so nice. Overview will be more excellent if our logo is putting in. I have uploaded a research paper from Japan. It study about the bioethaol production from cassava pulp by using hydrothermal process. They applied the process as the pretreatment. So may be it is a good alternative process we can look more detail. Besides, anyone can help me to find out market demand of bioethanol in Malaysia? Finally, thank you Hidayah to guide all of us to accomplish our group project. See you all tomorrow.
