Bioethanol production from agricultural waste is a promising approach to sustainable energy generation. This study investigates the potential of potato peel as a substrate for bioethanol production using Bacillus thuringiensis. Potato peel, a common byproduct of the food industry, is rich in carbohydrates, making it an ideal candidate for microbial fermentation. Bacillus thuringiensis was selected due to its known ability to ferment a variety of sugars into ethanol. While Bacillus thuringiensis is primarily recognized for its role as a biopesticide, there is potential for its use in bioethanol production, though this is not its primary function.
The process involved the hydrolysis of potato peel to release fermentable sugars, followed by fermentation using Bacillus thuringiensis under optimized conditions. Key parameters such as pH, temperature, and fermentation time were systematically varied to maximize ethanol yield. The results demonstrated that Bacillus thuringiensis efficiently converted the potato peel into bioethanol, with a significant yield under optimal conditions.
This study highlights the viability of using for bioethanol production from potato peel, providing a sustainable alternative to conventional feedstocks. The findings suggest that potato peel, often considered waste, can be valorized into a valuable biofuel, contributing to waste reduction and energy sustainability. Further research is recommended to scale up the process and explore the economic feasibility of commercial bioethanol production from this substrate.
