Analysis of Bioethanol production from Newspaper by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zymomonas mobilis

  Pooja Raj Chansoliya,  Rahul Anand,  Sunita Sharma

As the world transportation is totally dependent on the petroleum fuels, the demand of the non-conventional energy is increasing day by day. So it’s the time to look for approach other than tradition methods for the production of bioethanol . Keeping the facts of both the waste management and energy crisis bioethanol production from waste Lignocellulosic biomasses offers the cheaper and remarkable contribution . Newspaper as a lignocellulosic materials was selected for study of bioethanol production. The alkaline pretreatment of the substrate was carried out , amount of the reducing sugar was calculated using DNSA method .The hydrolysate was then subjected to fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zymomonas mobilis (MTCC 2428), and ethanol concentration was estimated by using potassium dichromate method.

Keywords- Lignocellulosic material, ethanol, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Zymomonas mobilis and fermentation.
