Bioethanol production from banana peels

Production of bioethanol using agricultural waste: Banana pseudo stem

India is amongst the largest banana (Musa acuminata) producing countries and thus banana pseudo stem is commonly available agricultural waste to be used as lignocellulosic substrate. Present study focuses on exploitation of banana pseudo stem as a source for bioethanol production from the sugars released due to different chemical and biological pretreatments. Two fungal strains Aspergillus elli...

Catalytic Hydrogen Production from Bioethanol

Utilization of waste ripe Banana , and peels for Bio ethanol production using Saccharomyces

Dried and ground peel biomass, ripe waste banana and Hydrolyzed peels of green and red banana used for bio ethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae with shake flask culture. The substrate was given with different concentration as 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% (w/v) along with 1% inoculum. Saccharomyces cerevisiae exhibited maximum yield of ethanol in ripened red banana and their hydrolyzed p...

Production of bioethanol from carrot discards.

A revalorization of discarded carrots as substrate for the production of second-generation ethanol is proposed. In order to increase the fermentable sugar concentration of the musts two strategies were studied: Strategy 1 consisted in the enzymatic hydrolysis of bagasse must and Strategy 2 by which carrots were milled, dropped into distilled water and hydrolyzed with different enzymes prior to ...

Bioethanol Production from Steam Explosion Pretreated Straw

1.1 Motivation and environmental aspects The combustion of fossil fuels is responsible for 73% of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere and therefore contributes significantly to global warming. Interest in the development of methods to reduce greenhouse gases has increased enormously. In order to control such emissions, many advanced technologies have been developed, which help in reduc...
