ABSTRACT

Bio ethanol has a huge potential as substitute over fossil fuels. Ethanol manufacturing from waste biomass, and the use of such ethanol as gas can reduce fossil gasoline consumption and modify its environmental impact. This review briefly describes the aspects associated with bio ethanol manufacturing and focuses on how the waste food such as fruits and vegetables and floral waste have been utilized for the production of bio fuel and waste management purposes. Ethanol is the most widely used liquid bio-fuel and is produced as a result of fermentation process from sugars, starch or cellulose biomass including food wastes, organic wastes and floral wastes. Fruit wastes could be exploited as potential source of bio ethanol. The waste of seasonal fruits was reviewed in the study. For this, the conversion of food waste (maize) and organic waste (Old newspapers) respectively carried out via acid and microbial hydrolysis to obtain sugar wort followed by conversion of sugar wort to ethanol by fermentation process. Fruit wastes are rich in sugars and carbohydrates which can be recovered and utilized for the production of bio ethanol. Floral wastes are freely and abundantly can be used as bio resource which has distinct advantages inclusive of high fermentable sugars and minimum investment. Temple floral residues generated extensive wastes at some point of or after worship. These floral wastes are renewable and rich in lignocellulose biomass resources available in large mass for bio ethanol manufacturing. Jasmine was used as material for the production of bio ethanol. Moisture content of Jasmine calculated to be 90.84%. Total sugar and reducing sugar were measured. During study. The floral waste can also be properly managed and applied in to produce bio ethanol.
