The Production of Bioethanol from Custard Apple Peels (Annona Squamosa) Using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Bioethanol can be produced through fermentation process from the renewable sources for fuel and fuel additives. There is an increase in the need of bioethanol; hence the bioethanol must be produced using cheap and eco-friendly raw materials. According to these characteristics, fruit wastes can be considered as cheap and cost effective. In this study, the peels of the Annona squamosa (custard apple) were used as a raw material for the production of bioethanol using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the results were compared using different parameters like time, temperature, pH and amount of yeast. The results of this work show that the rate of ethanol production through the fermentation of custard apple wastes yields are very high at pH 6, temperature 40°C, 7th day, and 10g of yeast and the yield obtained from the optimized parameters is 22.8% (v/v). The results of this present study proposed that the wastes from the fruits that comprises fermentable sugar should not be cast-off on our environment, rather it should be converted into a useful product like bioethanol that can assist as an another energy source.
