Abstract
Sugarcane is the earliest cultivated plants in both subtropical and tropical countries and is well known. In order to meet the rising require for sugar, the sugar industries are increasing exponentially; while the ethanol distilleries have grown steadily, as ethanol appeared as an inexpensive, low carbon footprint as well as sustainable bioenergy. However, the insufficiently handled and haphazard discharge of effluent from the sugarcane industry outcomed in substantial contamination of both water and soil. The fast decline of biomass, gas and crude oil reservoirs has implemented the analysis of bioethanol, biofuels, for alternative fuel forms. As a fresh or mixed fuel among oil utilized by cars, ethanol may be used. As of different sources, ethanol can be made. Because of its supply and usage for ethanol processing, Sugarcane has gained considerable attention in recent years, because the quantity of sugar contained in this high can be used for fermentation and other processes due to the high sugar content. Any plants that produce cellulosic content can be used for processing ethanol. There are different plants that can be used for ethanol processing. The goal of this thesis was the separation of Saccharum officinarum from local sugarcane molasses and the processing of bioethanol. "This research was performed" 31st August to 1st November 2019 "at the Department of Biotechnology, Monash University Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia. The origins of Saccharum officinarum used a poured plate technique consisting of medium Yeast Extract Agar (YEA). For molasses samples, microbiological and physical tests were conducted. Raw molasses (RM) in the 50-450 ml range and glucose-determined molasses in the 5-45% glucose range were separately fermented using three separates with every concentration. The ethanol was detected and studied.
