Abstract

ABSTRACT: The present investigation deals with the exploration of a novel feedstock for the production of bioethanol from the lignocellulosic-rich biomass. The feedstocks used in this study were namely the peels of Borassus flabellifer and Allium sativum, flower waste, leaves of Artocarpus heterophyllus and rinds of Aloe vera . Among them, A. vera rinds were found to be a better option and the acid-hydrolyzed dried A. vera rinds had the sugar concentration of 1.92 mg/mL. The rinds were further saccharificed by Saccharomyces cerevisiae MTCC 4779 to produce bioethanol. The feedstock and the product were characterized using the analytical techniques, and 9.6 mg/mL of bioethanol was found after distillation.
