Fermentable sugars from rice husk and groundnut shell

By Sharada S.

Rice straw is a residual by product of rice production at harvest. The total biomass of this residue depends on various factors such as varieties, soils and nutrient management and weather. At harvest, rice straw is piled or spread in the field depending on the harvesting methods, using stationary threshers or self propelled combine harvesters. The aim of this research was to utilize rice straw (waste) and groundnut shell (waste) for ethanol production by converting these complex sugars into reducible sugars which then fermented to produce bioethanol.
