  • Abstract:
  • Biofeul ethanol is common organic solvent and widely used in laboratory as well as in different industries. Now a days its most important use in the blending with petroleum products which overcomes the energy crisis and also, it is environment friendly, it is non-exhaustable or renewable source of energy, hence, widely used in the auto-mobile sectors as a biofuel. Demand of bioethanol increases day by day as a fuel supplement and chemical feedstocks in developing countries. The aim of this work is to study the bioproduction of ethanol with the help of yeast or Saccharomyces cerevisae from different types of molasses. It is cheap source of bioethanol and byproduct of sugar indusry. It contains 45% to 56% of sugars, mostly Sucrose, our main aim is to obtain maximum yield of ethanol by fermentation process using yeast species like AK-22. Different factors life temperature, pH, concentration of sugars, agitation rate, formation of foams etc., influence the production of ethanol and also efficiency and metabolism of yeast or Saccharomyces cerevisae.
