Abstract: Banana is widely available resource of lignocellulosic mass. It is second most cultivated fruit in world. During harvesting process, for production of 100 kg of banana there is generation of 4 tones of waste that is four times of waste are generated. The waste has been dumped in soil which can affect the environment and health of living organism. In present paper is study of generation of bio-ethanol from rotten banana waste by using enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. In this method we are using sacchromyces cerevisiae type II as yeast and two yeasts pectinase and cellulase. The study shows different factors affect the yield of bio-ethanol production.

Keywords: Enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, sacchromyces cerevisiae, cellulase, pectinase
