Production of Ethyl-alcohol using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae from Potato

Abstract

The steady rise in global crude oil prices, the increase in threats to the environment due to air pollution, global warming, and the threat of crude oil prices have had a shattering effect on developing countries, especially in oil-imported countries such as India. From a long-term point of view, it is mandatory to manufacture more fuelefficient fuels. Ethyl-alcohol is esteemed source of energy. Maize is a major source of ethyl-alcohol because of its high starch content in seeds and grains. Ethyl-alcoholis a renewable alcohol-based fuel that can be produced from starch, sugar, and cellulosic biomass. The present study of our review focuses on production of ethyl-alcoholfrom potato thus obtaining the energy-efficient effect of ethyl-alcoholsynthesis. A variety of substances can be used for ethyl-alcohol production. Ethyl-alcohol based biofuels can be produced using agricultural waste with the help of enzymes. Ethyl-alcohol fuel derived from starchy and agricultural lignocelluloses biomass is gradually being upgraded to reduce petroleum consumption due to depletion of petroleum resources as well as reducing the impact of fuel in nature. In this review we are focusing on production of ethyl alcohol from ground potato using yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae) and water as chemicals and reagent.
