Abstract
amylase for 2 h produced (g/100 mL) 3.97 g, 4.0 g, 4.43 g and 4.24 g of sugar, respectively. Fermentation with 7 g of MKS yielded maximum sugar and ethanol concentrations. Ethanol obtained using SS&CF, SH&F, SS&F and modified SS&F were (v/v); 0.26%, 2.0%, 1.13% and 3.985%, respectively. These results confirmed MKS as a potential feedstock for bioethanol production.
