Com and wheat are mainly employed with these intentions. In tropical countries, other cultures of starch as the tubers (for example, cassava) can be used for commercial production of fuel ethanol (Cardona and Sanchez, 2007 Prasad et al., 2007). The processes of ethanol production using starchy crops are considered well established. Today, most fuel ethanol is produced from com by either dry-grind (67%) or wet-mill (33%) process. Recent growth in the industry has been predominantly with dry-grind plants because of less cqjital costs per gallon and incentives for farmer-owned cooperatives (Bothast, 2005).
