Simultaneous Saccharification and Co-Fermentation (SSCF) Using Banana and Pineapple Waste as Substrate

Ethanol is the most extensively used fuel in worldwide particularly for transportation sector. Recently, researchers are focusing in producing ethanol from crops and agricultural wastes. This work is aimed to utilize the banana and pineapple waste from processing industry for ethanol production and consequently help to reduce potential environmental issues. Batch enzymatic hydrolysis via simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) technology was carried out using Aspergillus terreus (fungi) and Kluyveromyces marxianus (thermo-tolerant yeast). Results revealed that maximum ethanol concentration of 0.35 g/L and 0.27 g/L could be achieved by utilizing banana and pineapple waste, respectively.
