Various yeasts such as several strains of Saccharomyces diastaticus , S. cerevisiae , and Kluyveromyces fregilis were investigated for their ability to ferment the carbohydrates from Jerusalem artichokes to alcohol. Juice extracted of the carbohydrates. Fermentation was also carried out with raw artichokes without prior juice extraction. Result indicate that this row material has good potential for fuel alcohol production by fermentation.
