“…The metabolic pathway and ethanol fermentation are illustrated in Figure 2. Efficient bioethanol production necessitates an accelerated fermentation that results in high ethanol concentrations; consequently, the microbial strain used should possess a good specific growth rate and specific ethanol production rate at high ethanol concentration and high osmotic pressure [31]. A critical problem for efficient ethanol production is optimising the fermentation phase in terms of the following key parameters: pH, temperature, the composition of the medium, aeration, mixing, elimination of infection, etc.…”

The global demand for fuel keeps increasing daily. The massive depletion of fossil fuels and their influence on the environment as pollution is a severe problem. Meanwhile, food waste disposal is also a complex problem in solid-waste management since one-third of every food consumed is discarded as waste. The standard waste management methods, including food waste incineration and landfilling, are considered hazardous to the environment. Food waste constituents are majorly starch-based and contain various biomolecules, including sugar, lipids, proteins, vitamins, cellulose, etc. These polysaccharides can be hydrolysed into monosaccharides such as glucose, which can then be fermented using microorganisms to produce ethanol through the fermenting of sugars derived from enzymatic hydrolysis treatment of food wastes. The human food system is rich in starch, which can be a potential resource for bioethanol production.
