Αράπογλου, ΔημήτριοςΒαρζάκας, ΘεόδωροςΙσραϊλίδης, Χ.Βλυσσίδης, ΑλέξανδροςConsiderable concern is caused by the problem of potato peel waste (PPW) to potato industries in Europe. An integrated, environmentally-friendly solution is yet to be found and is currently undergoing investigation. Potato peel is a zero value waste produced by potato processing plants. However, bio-ethanol produced from potato wastes has a large potential market. If Federal Government regulations are adopted in light of the Kyoto agreement, the mandatory blending of bio-ethanol with traditional gasoline in amounts up to 10% will result in a demand for large quantities of bio-ethanol. PPW contain sufficient quantities of starch, cellulose, hemicellulose and fermentable sugars to warrant use as an ethanol feedstock. In the present study, a number of batches of PPW were hydrolyzed with various enzymes and/or acid, and fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisae var. bayanus to determine fermentability and ethanol production. Enzymatic hydrolysis with a combination of three enzymes, released 18.5 g L−1 reducing sugar and produced 7.6 g L−1 of ethanol after fermentation. The results demonstrate that PPW, a by-product of the potato industry features a high potential for ethanol production.Anaerobic Digestion (AD) of Solid Waste — Anaerobic DigestionWaste Managementhttp://hdl.handle.net/11400/11054Arapoglou, D., Varzakas, Th., Vlyssides, A. and Israilides, C.
