dc.description.abstractBioethanol in this study was produced from banana peels using the process of submerged fermentation, Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were the microorganisms used which were previously isolated from soil and burukutu respectively. The fermentation medium was composed of 5% inoculum of A. niger and S. cerevisiae respectively. The ethanol yield after fermentation was determined by checking its specific gravity after distillation and the value obtained was compared with that of a standard ethanol. The effects of substrate concentration, pH, temperature and time on ethanol yield were determined. After fermentation, ethanol yield was found to be maximum at 8% substrate concentration (9.66%), pH 5.5 (10.52%), 35oC (12.63%) for (3) days. However ethanol yield was influenced by many factors especially temperature, pH, substrate concentration and time.en_US
