Bio-Ethanol Production from Fruit and Vegetable Waste by Using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

Bioethanol can be produced by the fermentation of fruits and vegetables waste, which carried out in schott bottle using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Objective of this experiment was to determine the bioethanol percentage from fruit and vegetable wastes produce through a fermentation process using the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and to analyze the chemical amount and glucose content in production of bioethanol. At the end of this experiment, the best wastes that led to the highest production of bioethanol were recoded. This experiment has begun with sample collection step, sample preparation step, following by transferring waste juice into 1L Schott bottle, fermentation of waste in incubator for 3 days at 30 degrees C and lastly end with sample analysis. From the experiment, it is proved that the bioethanol yield could be produced from fruits and vegetables wastes as the substrates. Besides, it can be concluded that the highest bioethanol yield could be produced using pineapple wastes and high concentration of elements were recorded in oranges bioethanol, more so glucose content was also recorded higher in orange waste.
