Eco-Friendly Method for the Production of Bioethanol
Dr. M. K. Bhatnagar, Mohammad Azhar
Abstract: Bioethanol is a form of quasi-renewable energy that can be produced from agricultural feedstocks. It can be made from very common crops. Chemical fertilizers like di-sodium hydrogen phosphate, urea and ammonium sulphate or ammonium phosphate are generally used as nutrients in the fermentation of molasses because micro-organism yeast can not grow and ferment well without minerals nitrogen and phosphorous present in these nutrients. Since earthworm cast is also the rich source of nitrogen and phosphorous, may be considered as alternative of chemicals fertilizers required for the growth of yeast during fermentation of various feed stocks like molasses, wheat, rise, potatoes and even deteriorated sugar. In the present investigation fermentation of deteriorated sugar was experimentally done in presence of earthworm cast.
Keywords: Earthworm cast, yeast, deteriorated sugar, ethanol
