Is there something in common between whey and alcohol? We would also answer “no” if #VyatSU did not have such smart and creative young scientists. Today we are talking about the development of a student of the Department of Microbiology, the winner of the UMNIK competition - Anna Leushina.

She is working on a technology for obtaining alcohol from whey.

Apparently yes, things are connected. Whey as a by-product of production most often goes to waste and merges, creating an environmental problem for the environment

 This "waste" can be given a "second life", Anna is sure, and suggests using whey as a raw material for the production of ethanol. The final product can be used both in the food and technical fields - the technology makes it possible to obtain both versions of ethanol.

In addition, such raw materials for alcohol are the cheapest, for the introduction of this technology in production, almost nothing needs to be changed.
