Abstract

Article Summary

The global bioethanol market size was accounted at USD 40.8 billion in 2021 and it is expected to reach around USD 124.5 billion by 2030. What will be the CAGR of global bioethanol market? The global bioethanol market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 13.2% from 2022 to 2030. The efficacy of chemical mutagen, i.e., acrylonitrile (AN) on natural production of bioethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae PK-1922 has been assessed. It has been found that the chemical mutagen, i.e., acrylonitrile at its molar concentration of 6.0×10–5M has moderate stimulatory impact on natural production of bioethanol to an extent of 5.769% higher in comparison to control fermenter flask, i.e. 5.20 mL/ 100mL while molar concentration of acrylonitrile under trial at 7.0×10–5 M and onwards slow down and retards the bioethanol production. Experimental variables has been optimized viz. : 320C temperature, 4.6 pH, 55hrs incubation period with 15.0% (w/v) molasses solution alongwith other nutritional ingredients required by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae PK-1922 .
