Abstract

The present research work is important in scenario of energy crises. The aim of this study was to utilize the low grade apples for the production of ethanol which in turn could be used for various purposes. From this study, it is clear that the maximum production of ethanol could be obtained from the apple. In this research maximum ethanol was obtained from low evaluations apples gathered from nearby markets around Lahore. S. cervicieae strain was used for the maximum conversion of sugar contents of apples into ethanol. Various parameters were optimized to get the maximum ethanol production which can be enhanced by further studies and could be beneficial candidate for various applications.
