Alcoholic fermentation from grains with a noncooking system was successfully carried out for the first time on an industrial scale. The results were compared with those with a conventional high-temperature cooking system and a low-temperature cooking one and it was found that: (1) The fermentation efficiency is equal or superior to that of the high-temperature cooking system. (2) Mashing at a concentration high enough to obtain an average 14.2% final alcohol concentration can be very easily done on an industrial scale. (3) The need for heavy fuel oil for the mashing process is eliminated. (4) The noncooking system allows much energy saving in industrial production of alcohol from starchy materials.
