Estudio comparativo del rendimiento en la producción de bioetanol a partir del material lignocelulósico del Banano (Musa paradisiaca L) y el Maracuyá (Passiflora edulis).

Abstract

Biofuels are liquid or gaseous fuels produced from biodegradable product fractions, forest residues, and industrial waste. The objective of this work is to compare the performance of bioethanol production from two types of lignocellulosic material, in this case from banana and passion fruit peels. The research will be experimental, exploratory, and descriptive. The factors to be studied are A, the two types of lignocellulosic material (banana and passion fruit peels) and B, levels of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A Completely Random Design (DCA) AxB will be used which gives a result of 6 treatments and 3 repetitions and the Tukey test (<0.05) to compare the means of the treatments with each other. As a result, the performance in the production of second-generation bioethanol will be determined and it will be determined with a confidence level of 95 % of probabilities on the best performance of the lignocellulosic materials used in the study.
