The generation of various types of fruit waste is increasing day-by-day. The fruit waste containing essential components can be utilized for the production of valuable products. In the present study bio-ethanol production from pineapple waste using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus niger with different combinations of pineapple waste (as substrate) and microorganism (as an inoculum) was performed by fermentation. The results obtained showed that, the highest amount of bio-ethanol yield produced which was 17.75% (v/v) consisting of pulp as a substrate and Aspergillus niger as an inoculum. The bio-ethanol yield obtained from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and peels set was 8.84%. The bio-ethanol yield from Aspergillus niger was highest as compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae this might be due to Aspergillus niger has the ability to utilize sugar present in fermentation medium at a faster rate producing higher concentration of bio-ethanol.
