Study on the Production of Fermentable Sugar by Use of Cellulose on Banana Peel

Abstract:

Banana peel is the main by-product in banana processing.A lot of banana waste are not disposeed in China every year.Used for degradation of cellulose on a banana peel and converted into fermentable sugars research. Efficiency of hydrolysis of cellulose to investigate the effect of factors: substrate concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time, enzyme dosage, pH. A single factor experiments the results: substrate concentration is 25%; the reaction time of 6h; reaction temperature of 50°C; the pH is 4.8;the amount of enzyme is 1%. Experimental results show that the application of enzymatic degradation of cellulose can be prepared banana fermentable sugar residue is feasible.
