Bioethanol production derived from banana peels through fermentation process

The aim of this study is to produce bioethanol from banana peels using fermentation process and the parameter of temperature and pH on bioethanol yield was investigated at the same time. Steam pretreatment and acid hydrolysis treatment were used to breakdown the cellulose in waste banana peels. Sacc...
