Appropriateness of waste jasmine flower for bioethanol conversion with enzymatic hydrolysis: sustainable development on green fuel production

Utilized and waste jasmine flower contains a high portion of organic carbohydrate and other organic acids, making it a suitable substrate for bioethanol production. This study was designed to estimate the prospective of waste jasmine flower biomass applied with chemical (alkaline) and thermal pretreatment applied on samples through bioethanol production efficiencies. Therefore, pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis are directed to disrupt the complex cell wall layer and improve the accessibility towards polysaccharide fraction. Also, applying response surface methodology tools during fermentative bioethanol production to study the interactive effects of different bioprocess variables for higher bioethanol yield in batch small and large scale model is discussed. The immobilized yeast between jasmine found that jasmine sugar utilization was 50%. The jasmine flower's ethanol production was 6.54 g/L and after distillation of jasmine was 31.40 g/L at pH 4.5. Results showed that this immobilized yeast method could be successfully used for bioethanol production from waste jasmine flower.

Automated summary

The study examined the potential of utilizing waste jasmine flower biomass for bioethanol production through chemical and thermal pretreatment; the aim was to disrupt cell wall layers and improve accessibility to polysaccharides. Results indicated successful bioethanol production from waste jasmine flower using immobilized yeast, highlighting the feasibility of the method.
