The study aimed to develop a novel bioprocessing protocol for lignocellulose conversion into ethanol without the use of any chemical for pre-treatment. The feedstock, mature sweet sorghum bagasse, was milled and sieved to 40 and 80 mesh (physical treatment) to have samples with particle size of 0.425 mm and 0.180 mm, respectively. After which, samp...

“Nipahol” is high-grade bioethanol produced from nipa sap using the proprietary fermentation and distillation technologies developed by a group of researchers at the Mariano Marcos State University-National Bioenergy Research and Innovation Center (MMSU-NBERIC). To ensure the quality and efficacy of the formulated product, the present study was set...

The ultimate goal of the present study was to develop a secure, safe, and hygienic nipa sap collection system for bioethanol production, with the aim of preserving its physico-chemical properties such as physical appearance, pH and sugar brix by reducing the rate of fermentation while attached to the peduncle. The developed collection system was ev...

Banana (M. acuminata x balbisiana) is an abundant lignocellulosic waste material in large plantations all over the Philippines, especially in Mindanao, which can be utilized as substrate in producing high-value products like ethanol. To compensate for the low yield based on total weight of substrate due to the high moisture content of banana pseudo...

Naturally fermenting nipa (Nypa fruticans) sap samples from two lambanog (palm liquor)-making sites in the Philippines were subjected to yeast community analysis. Polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) analysis revealed six (6) yeast strains participating in nipa sap fermentation in the two sites. The nipa sap...
