This document summarizes a study that isolated yeast from apple, orange, and banana fruits to determine their ability to produce alcohol at different glucose concentrations. Yeast was successfully isolated from the fruits and grown in culture. When fermented in media with varying glucose concentrations from 5-70g/L, the yeast produced differing amounts of biomass and alcohol. The yeast from apple produced the most biomass (0.38g/100mL) and alcohol (0.412g/100mL) at 70g/L glucose. Yeast from banana produced the highest alcohol (0.362g/100mL) at 70g/L glucose as well. Higher glucose concentrations generally resulted in greater yeast growth and alcohol production.

Production of α-amylase using new strain of Bacillus polymyxa isolated from s...IOSR Journals
In this study, a new amylase producer strain was isolated from sweet potato tuber. This strain was able to grow at 37 °C and produce α-amylase in high quantity compared to other standard strain cultures. In the first part, cultivation in shake flask in standard medium was carried out to give complete information about the growth and production kinetics of this strain. The results clearly demonstrate that the isolated strain is able to production α-amylase in submerged culture with concentration up to 2050 kat/L after 20 h cultivation. Furthermore, medium optimization was carried out by changing the starch concentration and cell cultivation in medium of mixed carbon source (composed of starch and glucose of ratio 15:5 g/g) to enhance the production process and to increase the growth rate. The volumetric and specific α-amylase production in this optimized medium were 4550 kat/L and 1060 kat/g, respectively. Further improvement in enzyme production process was achieved by scaling up the process from shake flask to 3-L stirred tank bioreactor under non-oxygen limiting condition. The maximal volumetric and specific α-amylase productions in bioreactor batch culture were 5210 kat/L and 1095kat/g, respectively, after only 14 h cultivation

It was the goal to investigate the Cellulase enzyme production ability of fungal strains such as
Aspergillus niger against the lignocellulosic bio-waste like Rice husks, Millet husks, Maize cobs, Wheat straws
and leaves at varying environmental parameters of pH, substrate concentration and dry weight and wet weight.
The enzyme production was analyzed individually by Miller‘s modified method of Dinitrosalicylic acid ( DNSA
). In this study the high level of enzyme production was achieved at pH 3 by using Rice husks, Millet husks,
Maize cobs, Wheat straws and leaves and pH 4 by using Maize cobs at varying substrate concentrations. Out of
all the five used substrates rice husks gave the higher production of the cellulose enzyme. The importance of
cellulase enzyme in industries cannot be over emphasized.
Preservative Effects of Different Treatments and Their Flavor Acceptability i...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
— The aim of this study is to evaluate the stability of a cashew apple and pineapple blend juice (25:75 v / v). Various treatments were applied, including pasteurization (92 C, 15 min), aqueous extract of ginger (2.5 and 10%) and potassium sorbate (1g/kg). The physicochemical results revealed that the addition of the aqueous extract of ginger caused an increase in the content of ascorbic acid, total sugars, proteins and minerals such as magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and zinc. The microbiological analysis showed lower microbial counts of the treated samples compared to the control. The different treatments could have an antimicrobial effect. The sensory analysis reveals a general acceptability for all the samples formulated. This acceptability value is higher for the sample supplemented with 10% aqueous extract of ginger. With a view to preservation without chemical preservatives while improving nutrient content, the 10% aqueous ginger extract could help extend the shelf life of fruit juice drinks.

Cellulalytic fungi synthesize cellulose enzyme for biodegradation of cellulose. This depends on various condition which include the source f isolation. This study was designed to determine the optimum condition necessary for cellulose production by fungi. Cellulose activities at different temperatures, pH and nitrogen sources by Rhizopus oryzae Aspergillus niger; A. flams, P. expansum and A. oryzae in liquid medium was studied and cellulose enzyme assay carried out by dinitrosalicylic acid method. All the fungal isolates have their highest cellulose activity at 400c except Penicillium expansum whose highest value of 1.28mg/ml was obtained at 320c. Cellulase produced 6m was found to be highest in all the isolate at pH 4.0 exception P expansum which occur at pH 5.5 (1.21mg/ml). The highest value e1.45mg/ml was obtained in A niger. Highest cellulose activity for A. niger, A. oryzae & P. expansum occurred in peptone. The study shows the need to determine the best physiological condition that allow for the optimal cellulose activity of fungal isolate. This will enhance their enzyme production.

In Benin, chilli pepper is a widely consumed as vegetable whose production requires the use of performant varieties. This work assessed, at Parakou and Malanville, the performance of six F1 hybrids of chilli including five imported (Laali, Laser, Nandi, Kranti, Nandita) and one local (De cayenne), in completely randomized block design at four replications and 15 plants per elementary plot. Agro-morphological data were collected and submitted to analysis of variance and factor analysis of mixed data. The results showed the effects of variety, location and their interactions were highly significant for most of the growth, earliness and yield traits. Imported hybrid varieties showed the best performances compared to the local one. Multivariate analysis revealed that 'De cayenne' was earlier, short in size, thin-stemmed, red fruits and less yielding (≈ 1 t.ha-1). The imported hybrids LaaliF1 and KrantiF1 were of strong vegetative vigor, more yielding (> 6 t.ha-1) by developing larger, long and hard fruits. Other hybrids showed intermediate performances. This study highlighted the importance of imported hybrids in improving yield and preservation of chili fruits. However, stability and adaptation analyses to local conditions are necessary for their adoption.
An Empirical Approach for the Variation in Capital Market Price Changes Premier Publishers
The chances of an investor in the stock market depends mainly on some certain decisions in respect to equilibrium prices, which is the condition of a system competing favorably and effectively. This paper considered a stochastic model which was latter transformed to non-linear ordinary differential equation where stock volatility was used as a key parameter. The analytical solution was obtained which determined the equilibrium prices. A theorem was developed and proved to show that the proposed mathematical model follows a normal distribution since it has a symmetric property. Finally, graphical results were presented and the effects of the relevant parameters were discussed.

Chia is an emerging cash crop in Kenya and its production is inhibited by lack of agronomic management information. A field experiment was conducted in February-June and May-August 2021, to determine the influence of nitrogen and spacing on growth and yield of Chia. A randomized complete block design with a split plot arrangement was used with four nitrogen rates as the main plots (0, 40, 80, 120 kg N ha-1) and three spacing (30 cm x 15 cm (s1), 30 cm x 30 cm (s2), 50 cm x 50 cm (s3)). Application of 120 kg N ha-1 significantly increased (p≤0.05) vegetative growth and seed yield of Chia. Stem height, branches, stem diameter and leaves increased by 23-28%, 11-13%, 43-55% and 59-88% respectively. Spacing s3 significantly increased (p≤0.05) vegetative growth. An increase of 27-74%, 36-45% and 73-107% was recorded in number of leaves, stem diameter and dry weight, respectively. Chia yield per plant was significantly higher (p≤0.05) in s3. However, when expressed per unit area, s1 significantly produced higher yields. The study recommends 120 kg N ha-1 or higher nitrogen rates and a closer spacing of 15 cm x 30 cm as the best option for Chia production in Kenya.

Social capital plays an essential role in empowering people for social and economic change even during the pandemic. A livelihood project of the government was implemented among the members of a women’s association of a disadvantaged upland community in Bukidnon province, Southern Philippines for inclusive development. This study was conducted to determine the influence of some socio-economic attributes and the change in the knowledge level on the social capital of the rural women amidst the pandemic. The activities of the project were implemented considering the health protocols imposed by the government during the health crisis. The findings revealed that the trainings conducted resulted to a positive change in the knowledge level among the rural women. This facilitated the production of vegetables for their households and generated additional income very necessary during the pandemic especially that other economic activities were hindered. Similarly, there was a significant increase in the social capital of the rural women during the last two years. The main occupation, sources of income and their ethnicity significantly influenced the social capital of the rural women. The rural development workers and policymakers must consider the social capital of the group in the implementation of poverty alleviation programs.
Impact of Provision of Litigation Supports through Forensic Investigations on...Premier Publishers
This paper presents an argument through the fraud triangle theory that the provision of litigation supports through forensic audits and investigations in relation to corporate fraud cases is adequate for effective prosecution of perpetrators as well as corporate fraud prevention. To support this argument, this study operationalized provision of litigation supports through forensic audit and investigations, data mining for trends and patterns, and fraud data collection and preparation. A sample of 500 respondents was drawn from the population of professional accountants and legal practitioners in Nigeria. Questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection and this was mailed to the respective respondents. Resulting responses were analyzed using the OLS multiple regression techniques via the SPSS statistical software. The results reveal that the provision of litigation supports through forensic audits and investigations, fraud data mining for trends and patterns and fraud data collection and preparation for court proceedings have a positive and significant impact on corporate fraud prevention in Nigeria. This study therefore recommends that regulators should promote the provision of litigation supports through forensic audits and investigations in relation to corporate fraud cases in publicly listed firms in Nigeria, as this will help provide reports that are acceptable in court proceedings.
Improving the Efficiency of Ratio Estimators by Calibration WeightingsPremier Publishers
It is observed that the performances of most improved ratio estimators depend on some optimality conditions that need to be satisfied to guarantee better estimator. This paper develops a new approach to ratio estimation that produces a more efficient class of ratio estimators that do not depend on any optimality conditions for optimum performance using calibration weightings. The relative performances of the proposed calibration ratio estimators are compared with a corresponding global [Generalized Regression (GREG)] estimator. Results of analysis showed that the proposed calibration ratio estimators are substantially superior to the traditional GREG-estimator with relatively small bias, mean square error, average length of confidence interval and coverage probability. In general, the proposed calibration ratio estimators are more efficient than all existing estimators considered in the study.
Urban Liveability in the Context of Sustainable Development: A Perspective fr...Premier Publishers
Urbanization and quality of urban life are mutually related and however it varies geographically and regionally. With unprecedented growth of urban centres, challenge against urban development is more in terms of how to enhance quality of urban life and liveability. Making sense of and measuring urban liveability of urban places has become a crucial step in the context of sustainable development paradigm. Geographical regions depict variations in nature of urban development and consequently level of urban liveability. The coastal regain of West Bengal faces unusual challenges caused by increasing urbanization, uncontrolled growth, and expansion of economic activities like tourism and changing environmental quality. The present study offers a perspective on urban liveability of urban places located in coastal region comprising of Purba Medinipur and South 24 Parganas districts. The study uses the liveability standards covering four major pillars- institutional, social, economic and physical and their indicators. This leads to develop a City Liveability Index to rank urban places of the region, higher the index values better the urban liveability. The data for the purpose is collected from various secondary sources. Study finds that the eastern coastal region of the country covering state of West Bengal depicts variations in index of liveability determined by physical, economic, social and institutional indicators.

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a plant which has recently been used widely as a sweetener. This medicinal plant has some components such as diterpenoid glycosides called steviol glycosides [SGs]. Rebaudioside A is a diterpenoid steviol glycoside which is 300 times sweeter than table sugar. This study was done to investigate the effect of GA3 (50 mg/L) on the expression of 14 genes involved in Rebaudioside A biosynthesis pathway in Stevia rebaudiana under in vitro conditions. The expression of DXS remarkably decreased by day 3. Also, probably because of the negative feedback of GA3 on MEP-drived isoprenes, GGDS transcript level reached its lowest amount after GA3 treatment. The abundance of DXR, CMS, CMK, MCS, and CDPS transcripts showed a significant increase at various days after this treatment. A significant drop in the expression levels of KS and UGT85C2 is detected during the first day. However, expression changes of HDR and KD were not remarkable. Results revealed that the level of transcript of UGT74G1 and UGT76G1 up regulated significantly 4 and 2 times higher than control, respectively. However, more research needs to shed more light on the mechanism of GA3 on gene expression of MEP pathway.

Information on genetic variability for biochemical characters is a prerequisite for improvement of tea quality. Thirteen introduced tea clones characterized with objective; assessing tea clones based on morphological characters at Melko and Gera research stations. The study was conducted during 2017/18 cropping season on experimental plots in RCBD with three replications. Data recorded on morphological traits like days from pruning to harvest, height to first branch, stem diameter, leaf serration density, leaf length, leaf width, leaf size, petiole length, leaf ratio, internode length, shoot length, number of shoot, canopy diameter, hundred shoot weight, fresh leaf yield per tree. Cluster analysis of morphological trait grouped into four clusters indicated, the existence of divergence among the tested clones. The maximum inter-cluster distance was between clusters I and IV (35.27) while the minimum inter cluster distance was observed between clusters I and II (7.8).Principal components analysis showed that the first five principal components with eigenvalues greater than one accounted 86.45% for 15 morphological traits. Generally, the study indicated presence of variability for several morphological traits. However, high morphological variation between clones is not a guarantee for a high genetic variation; therefore, molecular studies need to be considered as complementary to biochemical studies.
Causes, Consequences and Remedies of Juvenile Delinquency in the Context of S...Premier Publishers
This research work was designed to examine nature of juvenile offences committed by juveniles, causes of juvenile delinquency, consequences of juvenile delinquency and remedies for juvenile delinquency in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa with specific reference to Eritrea. Left unchecked, juvenile delinquents on the streets engage in petty theft, take alcohol or drugs, rape women, rob people at night involve themselves in criminal gangs and threaten the public at night. To shed light on the problem of juvenile delinquency in the Sub-Saharan region data was collected through primary and secondary sources. A sample size of 70 juvenile delinquents was selected from among 112 juvenile delinquents in remand at the Asmara Juvenile Rehabilitation Center in the Eritrean capital. The study was carried out through coded self-administered questionnaires administered to a sample of 70 juvenile delinquents. The survey evidence indicates that the majority of the juvenile respondents come either from families constructed by unmarried couples or separated or divorced parents where largely the father is missing in the home or dead. The findings also indicate that children born out of wedlock, families led by single mothers, lack of fatherly role models, poor parental-child relationships and negative peer group influence as dominant causes of juvenile infractions. The implication is that broken and stressed families are highly likely to be the breeding grounds for juvenile delinquency. The survey evidence indicates that stealing, truancy or absenteeism from school, rowdy or unruly behavior at school, free-riding in public transportation, damaging the book of fellow students and beating other young persons are the most common forms of juvenile offenses. It is therefore, recommended that parents and guardians should exercise proper parental supervision and give adequate care to transmit positive societal values to children. In addition, the government, the police, prosecution and courts, non-government organizations, parents, teachers, religious leaders, education administrators and other stakeholders should develop a child justice system that strives to prevent children from entering deeper into the criminal justice process.

Stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness are a common occurrence in the Sub-Saharan region including Eritrea. Numerous studies from Sub-Saharan Africa suggest that stigma and discrimination are major problems in the community, with negative attitudes and behavior towards people with mental illness being widespread. In order to assess the whether such negative attitudes persist in the context of Eritrea this study explored the knowledge and perceptions of 90 Eritrean university students at the College of Business and Economics, the University of Asmara regarding the causes and remedies of mental illness A qualitative method involving coded self-administered questionnaires administered to a sample of 90 university students to collecting data at the end of 2019. The survey evidence points that almost 50% of the respondents had contact with a mentally ill person suggesting that the significant number of the respondents experienced a first-hand encounter and knowledge of mental illness in their family and community. The findings show an overall greater science-based understanding of the causes of mental illness to be followed by recommended psychiatric treatments. The survey evidence indicates that the top three leading causes of mental illness in the context of Eritrea according to the respondents are brain disease (76%), bad events in the life of the mentally ill person (66%) and substance abuse or alcohol taking, smoking, taking drugs like hashish. (54%). The majority of the respondents have a very sympathetic and positive outlook towards mentally ill persons suggesting that mentally illness does not simply affect a chosen individual rather it can happen to anybody regardless of economic class, social status, ethnicity race and religion. Medical interventions cited by the majority of the respondents as being effective treatments for mental illness centered on the idea that hospitals and clinics for treatment and even cures for psychiatric disease. Changing perceptions of mental illnesses in Eritrea that paralleled the very caring and sympathetic attitudes of the sample university students would require raising public awareness regarding mental illness through education, using the mass media to raise public awareness, integrating mental health into the primary health care system, decentralizing mental health care services to increase access to treatment and providing affordable service to maintain positive treatment outcomes.
Effect of Phosphorus and Zinc on the Growth, Nodulation and Yield of Soybean ...Premier Publishers
An investigation was carried out at Kogi State University Student Research and Demonstration farm Anyigba during the 2019 wet season to observe the effect of phosphorus and zinc on the growth, nodulation and yield of soybean. The treatments comprised three levels: phosphorus and zinc (0, 30 and 60 kg P2O5/ha; 0, 5 and 10kg Zn/ha) and two varieties TGX 536 – 02D and Samsoy 2. The investigation revealed that application of phosphorus affected growth, nodulation, yield and some yield components of soybean while zinc application, apart from the plant height, which is reduced significantly, had no significant effect on other growth characters, nodulation, yield and yield components. However, it was generally found to decrease most of the characters. Application of 60 kg P2O5/ha gave the highest growth and yield, while 30 kg P2O5/ha gave the highest nodulation. Application of 60 kg P2O5/ha significantly increased yield to 1.9t/ha, which was significantly higher over the control plots, which gave 1.7t/ha. Crude protein and oil contents of the seeds were not significantly affected by phosphorus application but were significantly affected by zinc application, which significantly decreased protein content as its amount an increase from 0 to 10 kg/ha, and significantly increased oil content from 0 to 5kg/ha and decreased it below 5kg/ha. It was also revealed that the two varieties responded similarly to phosphorus and zinc in terms of growth, grain yield and crude protein content of the seeds.

A field experiment was conducted at Adami Tullu Agricultural Research Center in 2018 under rainfed condition with supplementary irrigation to determine the influence of harvest stage on vine yield and tuberous root yield of orange fleshed sweet potato varieties. The experiment consisted of four harvest stages (105, 120, 135 and 150 days after planting) and Kulfo, Tulla and Guntute varieties. A 4 X 3 factorial experiment arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Interaction of harvest stage and variety significantly influenced above ground fresh biomass, vine length, marketable tuberous root weight per hectare, commercial harvest index and harvest index. The highest mean values of above ground fresh biomass (66.12 t/ha) and marketable tuberous root weight (56.39 t/ha) were produced by Guntute variety harvested at 135 days after planting. Based on the results, it can be recommended that, farmers of the study area can grow Guntute variety by harvesting at 135 days after planting to obtain optimum vine and tuberous root yields.
Performance evaluation of upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) and variability study...Premier Publishers
This study aimed at assessing genetic variability and to evaluate the performance of 13 improved upland rice varieties for yield and its components based on morphological traits. The field experiment was conducted using a randomized block design at Guraferda and Gimbo districts in the 2019 main cropping season. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) over the two locations revealed significant differences (p≤ 0.05) among varieties for days to 50% heading, days to 85% maturity, panicle length, thousand-grain weight, and grain yield. Similarly, the ANOVA for variety by location interactions depicted significant differences among the tested varieties for days to 50% heading, days to 85% maturity, and thousand-grain weight. High heritability was obtained from days to heading (88.5%), panicle length (85.0%), and grain yield (85.2%), which indicates these traits can be easily improved through selection. High to medium broad sense heritability and genetic advance as percentage of the mean for days to heading, thousand-grain weight, and grain yield indicates a good opportunity for improvement through selection using their phenotypic performance. This is mainly due to the high role of additive gene action in the expression of such traits. This study confirmed the presence of variability among varieties for most of the studied traits, which will create an opportunity for breeders to improve rice yield and other attributes.

This study was conducted at Enchete kebele in Benna-Tsemay Woreda, South Omo Zone to evaluate the response of hot pepper to deficit irrigation on yield and water productivity under furrow irrigation system. The experiment comprised four treatments (100 % of ETc, 85% of ETc, 70 % of ETc and 50% of ETc), respectively. The experiment was laid out in RCBD and replicated four times. The two years combined yield results indicated that, the maximum total yield (20.38 t/ha) was obtained from 100% ETc while minimum yield (12.92 t/ha) was obtained from 50% of ETc deficit irrigation level. The highest WUE 5.22 kg/ha mm-1 was obtained from 50% of ETc. Treatment of 100% ETc irrigation application had highest benefit cost ratio (4.5) than all others treatments. Applying 50% of ETc reduce the yield by 37% when compared to 100 % ETc. Accordingly, to achieve maximum hot pepper yield in areas where water is not scarce, applying 100% ETc irrigation water application level throughout whole growing season under furrow irrigation system is recommended. But, in the study area water scarcity is the major limiting factor for crop production. So, it is possible to get better yield and water productivity of hot pepper when we apply 85% ETc irrigation water throughout growing season under furrow irrigation system.
Harnessing the Power of Agricultural Waste: A Study of Sabo Market, Ikorodu, ...Premier Publishers
Nigeria is still burdened with huge responsibilities of waste disposal because the potential for benefits of proper waste management is yet to be harnessed. The paper evaluates the capacity of the Sabo Cattle market in producing the required quantities of waste from animal dung alongside decomposed fruits with a view to generating renewable energy possibilities for lighting, security and other business activities of the market. It is estimated that about 998 million tons of agricultural waste is produced yearly in the country with organic wastes amounting to 80 percent of the total solid wastes. This can be categorized into biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes. The paper evaluates the capacity of the Sabo Cattle market in producing the required quantities of waste from animal dung alongside decomposed fruits with a view to generating renewable energy possibilities for lighting, security and other business activities of the market. The Sabo market was treated as a study case with the adoption of in-depth examinations of the facility, animals and products for sale and waste generated. A combination of experimental, interviews (qualitative) and design simulation (for final phase) was adopted to extract, verify and analyse the data generated from the study. Animal waste samples were subjected to compositional and fibre analysis with results showing that the sample has high potency for biogas production. Biodegradable Wastes are human and animal excreta, agricultural and all degradable wastes. Availability of high quantity of waste generated being organic in Sabo market allows the use of anaerobic digestion to be proposed as a waste to energy technology due to its feasibility for conversion of moist biodegradable wastes into biogas. The study found that at peak supply period during the Islamic festivities, a conservative 300tonnes of animal waste is generated during the week which translates to over 800kilowatts of electricity.

The general purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of conferences and job rotation on job productivity of library staff in tertiary institutions in Imo State, Nigeria. The survey research design was used for this study using questionnaire as an instrument for data collection. This study covered the entire population of 661. Out of these, 501 copies of the questionnaire representing 75.8% were duly completed and returned for analysis. Student’s t-test was used to analyze the research questions. The finding showed that conferences had no significant influence on the job productivity of library staff in tertiary institutions in Imo State, Nigeria (F cal= 7.86; t-vale =6.177; p >0.005). Finding also showed that job rotation significantly influences job productivity of library staff in tertiary institutions in Imo State, Nigeria (F-cal value= 18.65; t-value = 16.225; P<0.05). This study recommended that, government should ensure that library staff participate in conferences with themes and topics that are relevant to the job they perform and also ensure that there should be proper evaluation and feedback mechanism which aimed to ensuring control and minimize abuse of their development opportunities. Again, there should be written statement of objectives in order to sustain job rotation programmes. Also, that training and development needs of library staff must be identified and analyzed before embarking on job rotation processes as this would help to build skills, competences, specialization and high job productivity.

Among the different crystals, triple phosphate or struvite were predominant, followed by calcium oxalate dihydrate, calcium oxalate monohydrate and ammonium urate or biurate. The struvite crystals were, coffin-lid shape and while calcium oxalate dihydrate were octahedron or envelope and monohydrate crystals demonstrated “picket fence” and “dumbbell” and “hemp seed” appearance. Brown or yellow-brown spherical bodies with irregular borders with thorn-apple appearance were shown by ammonium urate or biurate crystals. SEM aspects of magnesium ammonium phosphate crystals revealed perpendicular columnar strata, few with scattered hexa or octa-hedral coffin-lid shaped crystals and calcium phosphate crystals were like cracked eggshells. Presence of wavy phases with sundry areas (uric acid), picket fence (calcium oxalate monohydrate) and typical envelope (calcium oxalate dehydrate) were electron microscopic appearance of various crystals.
Gentrification and its Effects on Minority Communities – A Comparative Case S...Premier Publishers
This paper does a comparative analysis of four global cities and their minority districts which have been experiencing the same structural pressure of gentrification. The main contribution of this paper is providing a detailed comparison of four micro geographies worldwide and the impacts of gentrification on them: Barrio Logan in San Diego, Bo-Kaap in Cape Town, the Mission District in San Francisco, and the Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus District in Vienna. All four cities have been experiencing the displacement of minority communities due to increases in property values. These cities were chosen because their governments enacted different policies to temper the gentrification process. It was found that cities which implemented social housing and cultural inclusionary policies were more successful in maintaining the cultural and demographic make-up of the districts.

2. Production of alcohol by yeast isolated from apple, orange and banana
Nasreen et al. 016
Moreover, besides S. cerevisiae, there is always a search
on for new wild/non toxic-fermentative yeast species for
their further industrial exploitation in fermentation
industry, baking industry, therapeutic production etc
(Alvarenga, 2011: Legras, et al., 2007).
The present study was intended to determine the
potential of the waste of ripe banana, orange and apple
fruits for alcohol production. The outcome of this study
may expand the utility of banana, orange and apple
wastes. That would not only ensure a cleaner
environment but also create more job opportunities,
reduce seasonal losses of the fruits and serve as a
substitute for produced alcohol by increasing their
production.
This research study reports on ethanol production from
the juices of apple, orange and banana.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
All chemicals used in the experiment were of highest
purity and were obtained from Sigma Chemical Company
(St. Louis, MO), Merck limited.
Yeast source, Isolation and medium
Fruit samples (banana, apple and orange) were obtained
from local sources of Lahore Pakistan and mostly
naturally decaying/fermented samples were preferred.
Fruit sample 100g was taken in a sterile mortar and
crushed to a fine paste by mixing with sterile water. Then
mixture was kept for overnight at normal room
temperature so that natural wild yeast present on fruit
samples to grow. Delete line. The medium was placed in
Erlenmeyer flasks containing 400 glucose, 10 g/L yeast
extract medium, and incubated with shaking 30o
C at
250rpm until good growth had taken place.
Then the cultures were streaked on 200 glucose, 10
yeast extract, 20g/L agar plates, and individual colonies
were picked from these and transferred to stock slants.
The stock slants were prepared with a medium consisting
of 200g/L glucose (reagent grade), 10 yeast extract, 1
urea, and 20 g/L agar. During this study, stock cultures
were transferred every 2 weeks. After 48 to 72h growth,
stock slants were prepared and used as inocula to
prepare fresh slants.
Sterilization of Culture Media
The fermentation media was optimized by varying the
concentration of glucose (5, 10, 30, and 50g/L) as
fermentation media were made up in approximately 10,
20, and 30 per cent glucose concentration and 5, 10, and
15g/L yeast extract, respectively.
After preparing the media, the media was processed in
order to homogenize all the contents. After homogenizing
the media was poured in test tubes, the mouth of the test
tubes were covered with cotton plugs and secured with
aluminum foil. The medium was then sterilized by
autoclaving at 121o
C at 15lb/ inch2
pressure for 15
minutes.
Inoculation
A loop full of liquid portion from each sample was
streaked (Quaternary streaking) in plate (with replica)
containing MGYP medium (yeast extract 3, malt extract
3, peptone 5, glucose 10 and agar 30g/L), pH 6.4
(phosphate buffer system) and incubated at 26°C for 2
days.
Optimization of Fermentation Medium
The fermentation media was optimized by varying the
concentration of glucose (5, 10, 30, and 50g/L) as
fermentation media were made up in approximately 100,
200, and 300 g/L glucose concentration and 5, 10, and
15 g/L yeast extract, respectively. Inocula were prepared
by loop transfers from stock slants to 50 ml of the 20 per
cent medium in 500-ml Erlenmeyer flasks. These were
incubated at 30
o
C for 72h on a rotary shaker (250 rpm).
Inoculum (3.5mL) was used with 50 ml of fermentation
medium in 500-ml Erlenmeyer flasks. These were
incubated at 35
o
C. Instead of closing the Erlenmeyer
flasks with cotton plugs, a double disc was used to
provide a more uniform material for gas passage.
Analyses were made at 24h intervals required for the
fermentation. Fermentation and incubation was continued
until most of the glucose had been used.
Analytical methods:
Evaporation during the fermentation was variable
depending to a large extent on aeration rate and length of
fermentation. Before analyses were made, the
fermentation broth was diluted to the original volume. The
media of yeast cells was centrifuged. The supernatant
was used for further analyses. Glucose was determined
by the copper reduction method of Shaffer and Somogyi,
(1933). Ethanol was determined by the Conway micro
diffusion method as described by Neish (1952).
RESULTS
Yeast isolated from the various fruits (apple, orange and
banana) were established in a pure culture on MGYP
medium. After 48h, white to cream colored colonies
appeared on agar plates. The colonies were smooth,
shiny and flat with entire margin. Observation of the
colonies under microscope showed that the obtained
budding/ oblong shaped colonies were of yeast and
belonged to the same morphological group. The cells
were globes to ovoid, mostly sub globes, occurring singly

or in pairs. Short, branched chains of cells were also
identified. But pseudo hyphae and true hyphae were
missing. Yeast cell biomass and alcohol were prepared
from fruits wastes. Yeast isolated from fruits were than
fermented by optimizing the medium (MGYP) by varying
the glucose concentration (5, 10, 30, 50, 70g/l) in an
incubating shaker at 30o
C in 250mL flasks, after 72 h.
The yeast isolated from apple showed maximum yeast
biomass (0.38g/100mL) at 70g/L glucose concentration
and minimum on 50g/l (0.03g/100mL) glucose
concentration. The variation of yeast biomass at different
glucose concentration was in Table 1. Similar results
have led to the tentative application of orange fruit
biomass production ranged from 70g/L glucose
(0.77g/100mL) to 50g/L glucose supplementation (Table
1).
Table 1 shows the different values of biomass production
from banana fruit. The highest yeast biomass was
recorded in 50g/l glucose concentration and lowest one
was on 30g/L glucose concentration (0.22g/100mL).
Alcohol production from apple, orange and banana
fruits.
The result of alcohol (ethanol) production from fermented
apple, orange and banana fruits showed that the
increased glucose conc. enhance the ethanol yield.
Same concentration of glucose (50-70g/L) was used to
produce ethanol from yeast isolated from fruits (apple,
orange and banana). In this study maximum ethanol
production by the yeast was recorded from apple
(0.412g/100mL) at 70g/l glucose concentration where as
minimum yield (0.069g/100mL) was obtained at 50g/l of
glucose concentration (Table-2).
The volume of ethanol in orange was formed
0.031g/100mL in 50g/L glucose while the largest volume
of ethanol was 0.252g/L 100mL in 70g/L glucose. The
variation in ethanol yield obtained from fermentation of
orange isolate was shown in table 2.
Lastly, the alcohol estimation from banana isolate
fermentation gave maximum ethanol yield
(0.362g/100mL) at 70g/L of glucose concentration and
0.072g/100mL) at 50g/L of glucose concentration. The
variation in ethanol yield obtained from fermentation of
banana isolate was given in table 2.
DISCUSSION
Apple, orange, banana and other fruits locally available
and thus serve as readily available raw materials for the
separation of ethanol yeasts. Eghafona (1999) isolated
various strains of indigenous yeasts capable of producing
ethanol from local fermented pineapple juice. Bansal and
Singh (2003) and Hossain et al (2014) did comparative
study on ethanol production from molasses using
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zymomonas mobilis.
4. Production of alcohol by yeast isolated from apple, orange and banana
Nasreen et al. 018
Glucose with different amounts (50, 10, 30, 50, and 70g/l)
was used as a sole sugar in the MGYP medium; the
consequences showed that the maximum yeast biomass
and maximum ethanol yield was obtained at high glucose
concentration. Similar result was shown by Xin, et al
2003. Viability of Saccharomyces spp also studied by
Moaris (1996) and Aguilar (2010). In 50% glucose,
reported a viability of 10-98.8% in different strains of
yeast.
The proximate analysis of various fruits (Apple, orange
and banana) was not determined in this study, but Essein
et al (2005) recorded crude protein and crude fat
contents of 78 and 116g/L, respectively in banana peels.
Protein is an essential nutrient for yeast growth while fat
is vital for the structure and biological functions of the cell
and can be utilized as alternative source of energy by the
cells.
The isolates exhibited high flocculation ability, and
fermented higher amount of glucose to yield appreciable
amount of ethanol. In present experiment, the alcohol
estimation from banana isolate fermentation gave
maximum ethanol yield (0.362g/100mL) at 70g/L of
glucose concentration and minimum yield
(0.072g/100mL) at 50g/l of glucose concentration. Brooks
(2008), isolated yeast strains from ripe banana peels for
ethanol production and found, that isolates fermented
40% glucose at 30
o
C to yield 3.6 and 5.8% ethanol
respectively.
Temperature is one of the major constrains that
determines the ethanol production. In this study the
experiment was carried out at 30
o
C with 70g/L glucose
concentration. The maximum amount of ethanol
produced by yeast cells using 70g/L glucose was
1.36g/100mL. Sree (2000) were also carried out
fermentation with initial glucose concentration of 150, 200
and 250g /litre at 30o
C the maximum amount of ethanol
produced by yeast cells using 150,200 and 250g/L
glucose was 72.5,83 and 93g ethanol per litre at 30o
C
after 48h. Similarly, Yadav et al (1997) also obtained high
ethanol yield (40g/l/h) at 30o
C. So present study was also
carried out at 30o
C in 250 mL conical flasks for 72h and
obtained the highest ethanol yield (0.412g/100mL) at 7
percent glucose concentration which was the maximum
concentration used in this experiment.
