Optimization of Bioethanol production from cocoa waste by locally isolated microorganism using RSM

The purpose of this study is to screen for potential bioethanol producers and to optimize production of ethanol by RSM (Response Surface Method) through various growth parameters. Microorganisms that were able to ferment sugar into ethanol were isolated from local food sources which were Tapai ubi a...
