This study demonstrates enhanced bioethanol production in agricultural waste using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, indicating potential sustainable energy sources.
Key Points
Bioethanol production reached 1.3g/l, optimizing fermentation conditions significantly aided the yield.
At optimal conditions of pH 6 and temperature of 40°C, a predicted ethanol yield of 1.3g/l was achieved.
Utilizing unripe plantain peels as a substrate shows promise for sustainable bioethanol production using agricultural waste.
Physical and biological pretreatment of the substrate enabled significant fermentation efficiency improvements.
