“…The majority of bioethanol are used as biofuel. Those bioethanol and the one used in alcoholic beverages as well are typically produced by fermentation process where certain species of yeast like saccharomyces cerevisiae or bacteria such as; zymomonas mobilis metabolize sugars in oxygen-lean circumstances to produce both ethanol and carbon dioxide [31,32].…”

“…In general, the production of lignocellulosic ethanol involves several steps which are shown in Figure 2 and passes through five main stages [31]. These stages are; biomass pretreatment and/or detoxification, hydrolysis, fermentation and product recovery.…”

“…Food, agricultural and some other industries release huge amount of waste and by-products, most of which has little or no economic value. Lignocellulosic waste biomass, such as straw, bran, stalk, stover, cob, shell, wood, saw dust, and bagasse are abundant potential feedstocks, however energy intensive and costly pretreatment processes are required for their utilization in bioprocesses (Zabed et al, 2016). Fruit wastes, on the other hand, contains easily fermentable monosaccharides as well as structural cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin.…”

“…At present, it is predominantly a first-generation fuel, i.e., produced through established fermentation technologies from sugar or starch, essentially from corn and sugar cane. However, there is a growing interest in second-generation ethanol, i.e., produced through more sustainable technologies from lignocellulosic materials such as energy crops, aquatic plants, forests biomass, agricultural residues, municipal and industrial solid wastes [1][2][3]. Conventional fermentation processes yield ethanol-water diluted mixtures of 8% to 10% mole of ethanol [4], but improved technologies result in higher conversion, producing mixtures of 15% mole of ethanol [5].…”
