ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to use a fermentation procedure to manufacture bioethanol from sugarcane bagasse and to ascertain how temperature and pH affect the output of bioethanol. Utilizing enzymes like glucoamylase and alpha-amylase, the cellulose in sugarcane bagasse was broken down. In the experiment, yeast, specifically Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was also utilized for fermentation. To investigate the impacts of pH on ethanol yield at 370 C, five samples were prepared at different pH values. In addition, five samples were prepared while maintaining a constant pH of 4.5 to investigate the effects of temperature on ethanol output. After subjecting the samples to High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, the quantities of ethanol were ascertained (HPLC). The findings demonstrated that pH 4.5 and the maximum ethanol concentration were reached.
