DISCUSSION
Currently, researchers have great interests on the
production of ethanol by using biomass. Banana (Musa
acuminata) wastes are examples. In this study, banana
wastes (M. acuminata) were chosen because it consists
of useful sugars and monomers of sugars that could be
fermented to produce ethanol and found suitable to be
used as alternative energy source (Chandel et al., 2007).
