Ethanol fermentation from Leucaena leucocephala seeds / Atik Zufar Mohd Razaki
Nowadays, utilization of renewable fuel from biomass such as bioethanol is gaining a worldwide attention. Due to the global demand for bioethanol production, edible biomass such as corn and sugarcane could not be the feedstock to solve this issue as their primary use is for food production. Hence, L...

Hence, Leucaena leucocephala (non-edible biomass) would be a possible alternative to replace edible biomass. This research deals with seeds of Leucaena leucocephala because there is a limited study on conversion of cellulose obtained from Leucaena leucocephala seeds into bioethanol and the seeds are normally left unused.
