13 years ago [Term] id: TO:0020123 name: ethanol yield from biomass def: "A trait to measure the ethanol yield from the industrial processing of feedstock (biomass)." [GR:pj, TO:contributors] comment: Often measured as volume/mass unit used by DOE-USA. it's also consistent with the common measure of fuel ethanol (volume, not mass) and common measure of biomass. Please note that ethanol yield in liters per megagram would depend on both the ethanol conversion process and the composition (not just the quantity) of the biomass. And in most cases (at least for breeding), it probably would be predicted ethanol yield instead of ethanol yield that is directly measured from a pretreatment and fermentation process. is_a: TO:0000371 ! yield trait created_by: jaiswalp creation_date: 2011-08-19T05:09:40Z

"Ethanol yield from biomass (predicted)" and measured in "L/Mg DM"
any suggested update for the methane yield terminology? > > For ethanol yield, my own opinion is that liters per megagram of dry biomass would make more sense. This is consistent with the volume/mass unit used by DOE; it's also consistent with the common measure of fuel ethanol (volume, not mass) and common measure of biomass. I'd call it biomass, not silage. > > That being said, ethanol yield in liters per megagram would depend on both the ethanol conversion process and the composition (not just the quantity) of the biomass.
