Large amount of food waste is generated by various industries, during agricultural processes, household waste, etc every year. Fruit waste contain high amount of carbohydrates which is highly recommended for the production of bioethanol. Fruit waste such as banana peel, citrus peel, orange peel, apple peel was taken from the local vendors outside Lovely Professional University. These waste generated contain high amount of lignocellulose that has the potential to produce bioethanol as a renewable form of energy. Our study consists of the size reduction followed by pre-treatment which includes chemical pre-treatment by the utilization of compound such as NaOH, HCL or alkali and utilization of microorganisms such as Trichoderma resie and Sacchromyces Servesie as well. The amount of glucose content is checked with the help of glucose standard curve. We utilized S. cerevisiae for sacchrification, ie. help in production of cellulase enzyme that will break the cellulose into glucose and galactose.
