Abstract: MASENAS, LEYNARD E. and QUEZON, MA. LYN P. Assessment of Potential Bioethanol Production from Banana Pseudo Stems. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering (BSAE). Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2019. Adviser: Engr. Citadel C. Ariola. The study was conducted from August 2018 to April 2019 to assess the potential bioethanol production from banana pseudo stems. Specifically, it aimed to: produce bioethanol from banana pseudo stems; monitor the sugar level, in terms of percent brix, of the substance during fermentation procedures; determine the quantity of the bioethanol produced from banana pseudo stems for a definite prearranged ratio; identify the ethanol or alcohol content from the generated bioethanol out of banana pseudo stems; and compare each of the bioethanol to be made that undergone different fermentation conditions specifically, the fermenting agent and duration period. The experimental set-up consists of three factors with four treatments applied with varying fermenting agent, solvent, and duration, namely: Treatment 1 (A 1B 1) — water and molasses, Treatment 2 (AIB2) — water and baker's yeast, Treatment 3 (A2B1) coconut water and molasses, and Treatment 4 (A2B2) — coconut water and baker's yeast. Each treatment was replicated three time under 21, 28 and 35-day duration period with 1: I ratio of solvent and biomaterial. The amount of bioethanol produced was measured and was then further tested through gas chromatography analysis at the CASL, UPLB-BIOTECH. The three-way ANOVA was used to analyze and interpret the data obtained from the experiment. Treatment 3 (A2B1) got the highest percentage of ethanol yield with 16% purity from 35 days of fermentation period, while the same treatment (A2B1) from 28 days of fermentation period reached the highest volume of pure bioethanol, 6.18 milliliters with 100% purity, both coming from a 2.00-kg mixture of chopped pseudo stem and fermenting solution.
