Summary Processing and fermentation trials on Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) tubers, and on pure inulin media were carried out. Acid and thermal treatments, pure and mixed cultures of yeast, and enzyme preparations were investigated. Best ethanol yields on either substrate were obtained with pH 2 thermal treatments, resulting in 131.6 liters ethanol per metric ton fresh tuber.
