Ethanol is a desirable fuel because it allows fuel to burn more cleanly and lowers greenhouse emissions.
Bioethanol can be synthesized from cellulose and hemicellulose that originates from the many source of biomass.
Bioethanol burns to produce carbondioxide and water.
Cheaply available agricultural raw materials such as fruit pulp, rice extract, sweet potato, sugar cane, wood bark, maize husk and waste paper were used.
Enzyme such as amylase and cellulase were produced by Aspergillus niger and Trichoderma viride.
Amylase was assayed by starch plate method and cellulose was assayed by DNS mthod(Dinitrosalicylic acid).
10% of biomass was boiled in distilled water.
In case of fruit pulp, rice extract, sweet potato, potato and sugar cane are chopped, boiled and filtered.
ENZYME ASSAY
TWO STEP ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS
Extract was then sterilized, after sterilization 5% of enzyme was added for hydrolysis and incubated for 3 hrs at 37 degree Celsius.
In case of rice husk, wood bark, maize husk and waste paper (25gm) in 250ml distilled water are boiled as a whole and kept for sterilization.
After sterilization 5% of enzyme was added for hydrolysis at 37 degree Celsius for 3hrs of incubation and filtered aseptically.
Hydrolyzed and filtered extracts were fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae for 7 days of incubation at room temperature in rotary shaker.
FERMENTATION
Primary distillation was carried in rotary vacuum flask at 80 degree Celsius(boiling point of ethanol) and fraction is collected.
DISTILLATION
˃ Fermentation with sacharomyces.sp was done in anaerobic conditon.

The bioconversion of waste to useable energy is also a part of utilization of waste.
Bioethanol can be synthesized from cellulose and hemicellulose that originate from many sources of biomass.
It become low cost than that of petrol. It create low pollution than other petroleum
products.
Bioethanol burns to produce carbondioxide and water on complete combustion as end products.
C2H5OH+3O2⇢2CO2+3H2O+HEAT Carbondioxide taken by plants , so it lowers
the pollution level.
Bioethanol was produced from various agricultural raw materials using two step enzymatic process, viz. enzyme hydrolysis followed by fermentation.
