Abstract

Production of ethanol from the fruit waste using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast has been investigated in ultrasound bath. The effect of temperature, P^H on ethanol production was studied and optimized. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast was found to yield maximum ethanol production to the extent of 7 %V under identical conditions.

Due to sonication, fermentation was achieved within short period of time. It was found that intra particle diffusion resistance has been overcome due to sonication.
