Abstract :
Reports of studies on optimization of solid substrate fermentation of pineapple waste for bioethanol production are few. Challenges are constantly arising from the use of food crops like corn, sugar cane and tubers for production of bioethanol due to the competition it poses against food security in a constantly growing world population. The use of lignocellulosic biomass and some industrial waste, such as pineapple waste, for industrial production of bioethanol, is being embraced in the research world with interest in the maximization of these sustainable feedstock. Production of bioethanol from pineapple waste in solid state fermentation using Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae obtained from natural sources, in a co-culture, was investigated by varying the pH at 3, 4, 5 and 6. The fermentation was carried out at temperature 25 0C, 30 0C and 35 0C, and metal salts of zinc, magnesium, iron and manganese were incorporated independently into the fermenting substrate. At pH 4, the maximum bioethanol concentration of 11.4% was recorded, while the maximum concentration of 11.4% was also obtained at 30 0C. Supplementation of the pineapple waste with zinc metal salt produced the highest bioethanol concentration of 13.22%, though, supplementing the substrate independently with magnesium, iron and manganese all showed significant differences in the concentration of bioethanol produced. Further analyses indicated that interaction between zinc and iron metal salts produced the most significant difference in bioethanol concentration. Interaction between zinc and manganese showed the least significant difference while magnesium and manganese showed no difference. Optimization of bioethanol production from a lignocellulosic biomass such as pineapple waste in solid state fermentation, will improve efficiency and resources utilization in the industrial production of the widely used industrial product, while beneficial utilization of the waste will help to curtail environmental pollution.
