-1 of total sugar without nutrient supplement could be used as the low-cost IP medium instead of the typical IP medium or yeast extract malt extract (YM) medium. Ethanol production from the SSJ (total soluble solids of 24 °Bx) by the inoculum of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NP 01 in batch and repeated-batch fermentations was then investigated. The fermentations were carried out under static condition in 500 ml air-locked Erlenmeyer flasks at 30°C and the initial yeast cell concentration was 1×10 8 cells ml -1 . In the batch fermentation, the concentration ( P), productivity ( Qp) and yield ( Yp/s ) of ethanol were 110.09 ± 0.81 g l
