Investigation Of The Potential Of Some Moisaic Disease Resistance Cassava Genotype For Ethanol Production
ABSTRACT
This project was aimed at
investigating the potential of some moisaic disease resistance cassava
genotypes for ethanol production. The two cassava mosaic diseases (CMD)
resistance varieties were TME 419 and 8082 which were recently developed by
National Root Crops Research Institute Umudike and the last variety Nwaibibi is
a local variety. They were peeled, washed, grated, sieved, sedimented and dried
by sun drying to obtain the starch. The starch samples obtained were analyzed
for starch content, moisture, protein, fat, ash ,crude fiber and carbohydrate.
The cassava starch samples were first hydrolyzed using degrading enzymes which
included amylase, amyloglucosidase and fungamyl and fermentation was carried
out using a yeast strain, saccharomyces cerevisae. The cassava variety 8082 had
the highest yield of ethanol(9.60%) at the 8th day while Nwaibibi gave 8.80% at
the 10th day and TME4I9 gave 8.27% quantity of ethanol at the 12th day.
