Abstract: CUBILLO, DANNIKA A., NOVICIO, JOYCE ELAINE P., OLOROSO, ROXANNE C. Applied Research II] (General Science Curriculum), Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2005 “ Production of Ethanol from Banana Peelings”. Adviser: Mr. Marvin V. Vicedo’ The study entitled “Production of Ethanol from Banana Peelings” was conducted at the Food Processing Center of the Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. The study aimed to: extract ethanol from banana peelings; determine the amount of ethanol derived from banana peelings; and determine its physical and chemical properties. Eleven liters of banana peelings were used in the study. The banana peelings were boiled and the extracted juice was filtered using cheesecloth. Results showed that the fermentation process and using a simple distillation method could extract alcohol extracted from banana peelings. The alcohol content of the distilled solution was 61.4 percent. The alcohol extract has a boiling point of 80.5°C, which is higher than the boiling point of commercial ethanol. With the use of a hydrometer, the specific gravity obtained was 0.88 and finally from this value the density was computed as 0.88g/mL. Laboratory tests showed that ethanol had a pH of 3.0. The flammability test showed a positive result.
