Abstract

Bioethanol can be produced through glucose fermentation using saccharomyces cerevisiae. Was done to make coconut water contains a small amount of carbohydrate. A researcher had taken research was done to make bioethanol from coconut water waste. The result of the research shows that coconut water fermentation with yeast has maximum speed after 70 minutes of incubation. The fermentation solution was then distilled. Bioethanol purity was about 76-80% after HPLC analysis.
