Abstract
In this study, Yam peels and Bambara nut shells were hydrolyzed with 0.25m, 0.50m, 1.00m, and 2.00m concentration of dilute sulphuric acid (H2SO4) respectively and the reducing sugar concentration were determined using the dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) colorimetric method. The results revealed that there is no significant difference (p<0.05) in the yields of the reducing sugar obtained from the two substrates at different treatment conditions. Confirmatory tests and other fuel properties such as; specific gravity, boiling point, flash point, pour point, cloud point, octane number FTIR and GCMS analysis were also determined in order to ascertained that the distillate produced were actually ethanol with respect to the standard from WHO/DPR and ASTM.
