Sustainable bioethanol production by solid-state fermentation: a systematic review.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The global population growth is driving the need for sustainable energy sources like bioethanol, but traditional methods threaten food supplies, making them less viable.
- New technologies and low-cost raw materials are essential to make bioethanol production more economically feasible compared to first-generation methods.
- Solid-state fermentation (SSF) offers a promising solution by using microorganisms on solid substrates, which improves efficiency, reduces waste, and eliminates the need for sugar extraction in bioethanol production.
The "ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE)" method was utilized in this work to assess how different process parameters affected the yield and recovery of phenolic compounds from the leaf of Commiphora gileadensis, which is one of the medicinal plants with a variety of biological functions. Its leaf is used for a various of therapeutic applications, such as the treatment of bacterial infections, inflammation, and wound healing. The "One-Factor-At-a-Time (OFAT)" approach was employed to examine the impacts of various UAE process parameters on the process of extraction, which include time of extraction, sample/solvent ratio, ultrasonic frequency, and solvent (ethanol) concentration.

Due to the high nutritional and medicinal content embedded in the cellulosic structure of jackfruit wastes, a need then arises for their physicochemical elucidations. In this study, the extraction of seed was carefully investigated using Taguchi orthogonal optimization design.
