Abstract:
Roots of water hyacinth have been extracted with different solvents such as ethanol and distilled water under different conditions and their influence on the growth of microorganisms, mash kalai and alcoholic fermentation has been studied. In all cases, the root extract enhances the growth of microorganisms and mash kalai and accelerates the alcoholic fermentation. Analysis of the extract showed that the organic substances have no effect and the inorganic constituents are responsible for the activity of enhancement of growth.
