“…Thereby, it should be better replaced by other oxygenated compounds to enhance the octane number of the fuels. Presently, ethanol as an oxygenous biomass fuel is the preferred alternative to MTBE for its biodegradable, low toxicity, persistence, and regenerative characteristics [3]. Ethanol has been produced from various crops such as sweet sorghum (S. bicolor), corn (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum), sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), cassava (Manihot esculenta), and sweet potato (Imopoea batatas) [4].…”
