Abstract
Bio‐fuel (Ethanol) was distillated from sugar molasses by utilization of yeast. In this study, sugar molasses was induced to
fermentation process followed by analysis of Brix value, POL percentage, purity, reducing sugar value and simple distillation methods
used to determine the significant amount of ethanol produced from sugar molasses.
Introduction
In current events the petroleum products shortage
is occur various factors and also increase the cost of
product. So, we pushed to search the alternate source,
that the way we establish our research towards
production of bio‐fuel (ethanol). It is an eco‐friendly and
recovers our fuel shortage. Combustion of ethanol
results in relatively low emission of volatile organic
compounds, carbon di oxide and nitrogen oxides. The
emission and toxicity of ethanol are lower than those of
fossil fuels such as petroleum, diesel etc., [1]. Ethanol can
be used directly as a fuel, but most for often it is blended
with gasoline to yield gasohol [2]. Intense research has
been carried out for obtaining efficient fermentative
organisms, low cost fermentation, substrates, and
optimal environmental condition for fermentation to
occur [3]. Even though the fermentative process for
ethanol production is well known, the production costs
are still the key impediment for the wide use of ethanol
as fuel. Therefore, the development of fermentation
processes using economical carbon sources is important
for the ethanol production in a commercial scale [4].
