Production And Fermentation Of Alcohol From Palm Wine

Production And Fermentation Of Alcohol From Palm Wine

Abstract

This exploration work was arrived as the expression and product of alcohol from the turmoil of win wine. A fresh win wine was ated which was attained from Emene in Enugu State. The characteristics that was tested ahead and after turmoil were; specific graveness, refractive indicator and PH value of the fermentated win wine was first determined, after which samples were formulated for turmoil. The incentive that was used in the course of turmoil process was the chef’s incentive( sacchromycess Cerevisae). 10 samples of 400 ml each of the win wine were used for the turmoil process, with variations in their incentive content and days of turmoil. These were done under aerobic condition. After turmoil, the samples were independently distilled after turmoil with their corresponding values of; specific graveness, by volume by weight attention and viscosity of the distillates determined and recorded independently. Further more, the distillates attained were separated and added together consequently to be re – distilled. therefore, their corresponding values of by volume, by weight, specific graveness of the re – distilled products were determined and recorded consequently. From the result attained, it shows that the minimal volume of alcohol attained is27.52 while the standard volume of alcohol needed is 37 minimum.

Preface

Background Of The Study

The manufacture of alcohol by turmoil has been known since amtignity, the main purpose being the medication of alcoholic potables like beer, wine etc, the raw material is win wine and any feed stuffy rich in carbohydrates,e.g wheat, barley, cassava, grapes, yams, apple, sludge, rich, potates, banana and plantains. Palm wine is made from the gap at the raffia win or the oil painting win which contain fermentable carbohydrate in result. It owes its white appearance to a suspense of incentive. It’s turmoil thus doesn’t bear the addition of incentive from an outside source.

turmoil is in fact veritably rapid-fire at ordinary te4mperaturein tropical countries with the product of alcohol and acids, especially ethanoic(i.e acetic) acid and large amounts of carbon dioxide. Because of the large volume of carbon dioxide released during turmoil, fresh win wine can not be kept nor transported in sealed holders. Fresh win wine is sweet, because of the high content of in fermented sugar, It’s accordingly low in alcoholic content and hence only veritably neatly intoxicating( Santiago, 2014). On standing, still, turmoil proceeds fleetly, as a result of which the wine fleetly loses its ’ sweet taste due to a fall in the sugar content, it also becomes further sour and more intoxicating owing to a rise in the alcoholic. Content. When completely fermented, it’s veritably sour and explosively alcoholic.

The alcohol produced then’s of course substantially ethanol. still, the strides of turmoil using the product and characterization of alcohol from fermentated win wine are necessary to form an understanding of any turmoil process. In the beginning the only source for ethanol was from fermented bounce or sugar, but latterly it was discovered that ethanol could be produced from the crude oil painting. In the 20th century the product of ethanol from turmoil nearly faded when the crude oil painting came fairly cheaper. But now it seems that this development has stopped and timepiece is now again moving backwards, briskly and briskly to the original source of ethanol which is from fermented bounce or sugar( Ouoba, 2012).

numerous turmoil processes are in direct competition with rigorously chemical conflation. Alcohol, acetones, butyl alcohol and acetic acid produced by turmoil have largely been superceded by their synthetic counterparts. nearly all major anti – biotic are attained from turmoil process. Dextrin is another turmoil product. The micro natural product of vitamins has also becomes economically important. therefore, alcohol being the major product of turmoil has contributed a lot in technological advancement. The use of alcohol in motor vehicles isn’t a new technology. When the first “ incense motor ” was produced, it was designed and constructed to use ethanol as energy. In countries like Brazil, the ethanol served as energy. In fact it has been used continuously since the twenties, however in some times in numerous small quantum. But indeed in the United States of America ethanol shops were operated during the alternate word war to produce motor energy and explosive for the Army. Now the crude oil painting prices are adding with an unknown speed this more or less for gotten technology is awakening( Dalibard, 2016).

Ideal Of The Study

The end of this exploration work is to produce alcohol of high quality from turmoil of win wine. Both natural and artificial provocations will be used for the turmoil process. It’s religionist that a pure and high quality of ethyl alcohol will be produced having its same physical, chemical and characteristics parcels. This exploration work will be of help in knowing the days of turmoil and volume of ye4ast to be added using win wine as a source of material. Severance can be reduced by being creative, more espe3cially in making use of this exploration work.

Compass Of The Study

The product of alcohol involves the use of win wine, raphia wine and oil painting win. The wine to be used is win wine. The incentive to be used is artificial saccharomyces cerevisae( chef’s incentive), which helps to grease turmoil process. The characteristics to be tested ahead and after turmoil includes, PH, specific graveness, temperature, volatility etc. This work won’t cover some areas due to material, time and fiscal constraints. Areas t6hat would not be covered include; blending of alcohol by the use of cumulative, colour ants and flavou4r; bottling of the product, labeling, corking of the product and pasteurization system etc. This exploration work will be confined to the use of win wine only, other and sources of carbohydrate similar as cassava, potatoes, sugar club couldn’t be covered.

Significance Of The Study

The significance or important of alcohol cuts across numerous sectors of our frugality and it’s used diligence and domestically in the following ways

Ethanol is an important detergent used to dissolve resins, varnishes, lacquer, cleaner, scents, colorings, druges and flavouring excerpt.

Ethyl alcohol is a raw material used in the manufacture of numerous important emulsion similar as ethanol, ethyl ester, halides, ettoxy – ettane and trichoro ethanol( chloral).

Ethyl alcohol is used as a energy, either by itself mixed with petrol in racing buses and in rockets. Because of its low snap in machine radiators. Eventually, ethanol alcohol is present in numerous alcoholic potables similar as beers, wines and spirits.

Limitation Of The Study

One of the major problems encountered by the experimenter is the financial problem. There was no sufficient plutocrat to make the purchasing of all necessary accoutrements for the exploration work. There was also the problem of meeting some personalities to get information from them. Because of that, the experimenter set up it delicate to collect all the necessary information. Time on the other hand was a big limitation as the experimenter has other lectures to attend alongside the design report.
