RECOVERY OF BIOETHANOL FROM FOOD WASTE USING SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE

<p>Excessive use of fossil fuels results in the rapid depletion non-renewable energy resources, a rise fuel cost, and an uncontrolled emission greenhouse gases which causes severe threat to environment. Bio-fuels are being scrutinized as substitutes for current high-pollutant obtained from conventional sources. To meet global demands, it becomes necessary find alternate source is bioethanol. In this work, strategy promote ethanol production Leftover Cooked Rice (LCR) by comparing different types hydrolysis was proposed. Process integration comprised mechanical pretreatment leftover cooked rice followed then fermentation. The food wastes weight 50g taken each 3 fermenters were subjected acid hydrolysis, enzyme combined respectively. Commercially available Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) used fermentation process. fermented samples distillation separate bioethanol them. amount 400ml, 150ml, 350ml Qualitative analysis done using Jones reagent. Hence, can be produced Saccharomyces cerevisiae.</p>
