  Production of Bioethanol From Muntingia calabura – An Under Exploited Fruit

  By Ir. S. Reddy Bathula, B. V. Ravishankar, B. E. Rangaswamy

  Abstract: The generation of bio-fuels from underexplored fruits forms an attractive solution towards energy generation. The utility of less utilized fruits as a possible source of ethanol production in a process without aeration was investigated by using fruits of Muntingiacalabura. The fruit juice was subjected to fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The amount of ethanol produced after fermentation was analyzed by gas chromatography and the ethanol production is almost equal to any …
