Abstract:
This research focuses on a sustainable way to reduce waste and generate renewable energy by converting Chempedak bio-waste into bioethanol. It undergoes several phases: feedstock collection and pretreatment (mechanical, acid and alkaline pretreatment), hydrolysis, fermentation, and distillation. The main goal of this project is to yield ethanol from 300 g Chempedak peel waste by using a functioning and cost-effective way. When processing the project, the distillation process was then changed to ethanol evaporation which used a rotary evaporator to extract the ethanol, as it is more effective. The final product for the ethanol yielded 73% for 41 mL. This work provided solutions to society to reduce waste, promote more sustainable energy solutions, and increase economic growth in industries by finding more sustainable options.

Fates of Pyruvate
In aerobic organisms, pyruvate is metabolized via the citric acid cycle to produce reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2. These coenzymes are then oxidized in the electron transport chain to produce ATP and, in the process, regenerate the NAD+ and FAD. As seen in some cell types and organisms, fermentation...
