Study Notes
Ethanol Production from Potato Peel Waste (PPW)
- PPW is a significant waste issue for potato industries in Europe.
- Bio-ethanol production from PPW has potential as a large market.
- Federal government regulations regarding bio-ethanol blending with gasoline may create demand.
- PPW contains starch, cellulose, hemicellulose, and fermentable sugars, making it suitable for ethanol production.
- Enzymatic hydrolysis using three enzymes released 18.5 g/L reducing sugar and 7.6 g/L ethanol.
- PPW has high potential for ethanol production.
Introduction
- Global interest in alternative energy sources is increasing due to energy supply depletion.
- Bio-ethanol is a promising biofuel from renewable resources.
- Many European countries recommend the use of bio-ethanol as fuel or additive to gasoline.
- Mandatory blending of bio-ethanol with gasoline may increase demand for it.
- Many countries are implementing programs to increase ethanol addition to gasoline.
- Ethyl alcohol global production reached 51,000 million liters, with the USA and Brazil as the main producers. Fuel ethanol accounts for 73% of global production.
Materials and Methods
- PPW samples were collected, dried, and moisture content was determined.
- Total sugars, carbohydrates, protein, and fats were analyzed using standard methods.
- Potato peel waste (PPW) was hydrolyzed with different enzyme combinations.
- Hydrolysis was followed by fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisae var. bayanus
- Different enzyme combinations and their impacts on ethanol production were evaluated.
Results and Discussion
- PPW chemical composition was analyzed (high starch content but low fermentable reducing sugar).
- Enzymatic hydrolysis using different enzyme combinations increased the fermentable reducing sugar content.
- The most effective enzyme combination led to the highest production of ethanol, with a yield of 92.5% the maximum theoretical yield.
- Using specified enzyme combinations yielded 6-7.6 g/L of ethanol.
- This method is efficient and economically feasible, offering an alternative solution for PPW management, and also reduces waste by-products.
Ethanol Production from PPW Fermentation
- Fermentation of the raw material is not practical, an initial hydrolysis (acidic or enzymatic) of carbohydrates is necessary.
- Use of Ternamyl 120 released 4.65 g/L, Liquozyme released 4.03 g/L, and Viscozyme released 0.7 g/L.
- Combination of enzymes was necessary for effective hydrolysis of PPW.
- Higher enzyme concentrations yielded higher fermentable reducing sugar.
- Maximum ethanol production after 48 hours leveled off.
- Theoretical conversion efficiency for this process was 92.6%.
