Analisis Bioetanol dari Limbah Kulit Buah Sukun (Artocarpus altilis) dengan Cara Hidrolisis dan Fermentasi

Abstract

This study aimed to determine glucose and ethanol levels from fermentation of peel waste of breadfruit. Glucose level was determined using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and then continued with fermentation of glucose from hydrolysis process using yeast tape (saccharomyces cerevisiae) for 3 days to produce bioethanol. The step in this study was the sample preparation, the acid variations in hydrolysis with HCl, H2SO4, H3PO4 (10%) and the fermentation. Determination of ethanol from the fermentation of glucose was measured by using alkoholmeter. The highest glucose level was 0.68% which was from hydrolysis using HCl and the highest ethanol level was 9% which obtained from the fermentation of glucose by using HCl hydrolysis. The conclusion shows that the type of acid used to reach optimum hydrolysis of the breadfruit’s peel is HCl.
