Abstract: The present invention describes substrates (feedstocks) used in the production of fuel ethanol and describes the process by which the alcohol is produced. The inventors process animal, vegetable, industrial food waste or a mixture of wastes in a process involving saccharification and fermentation reactions to produce a mixture of fuel ethanol water and carbon-dioxide, which is subsequently separated to recover 95 vol. % ethanol.
