Introduction
Background of the Study
Do you often eat fruits like bananas, apples and others? Do you think that fruit peelings are useless after consuming its flesh? Well, the wastes of these fruits are not going to be thrown away anymore because there is a new way to make these wastes more useful to the community and to our environment. Through the intense research, the investigators have found out that fruit peelings from banana and apple can be one of the good sources in producing an ethanol fuel. In connection with this, banana peelings and apple peelings can be made into ethanol with the process of fermentation and distillation. The investigation aims to lessen the amount of wastes in the environment and also prevents the pollution in the country. The production of ethanol in this investigation is to relieve the energy crisis that is happening to the country now. The ethanol can benefit to us through using it as a fuel for the vehicles. Lastly, the investigation will give them knowledge on how to make ethanol from fruit peelings which is renewable because it has a lot of purposes and uses, Eco-friendly because the materials in the production of ethanol can be recycled and affordable because only recycled materials are used.
Statement of the Problem The researchers aim to seek answer to the question: Does ethanol that came from banana peelings and apple peelings be used as a substitute for fuel?
Hypothesis
This portion of the study presents the ideas and becomes the guide of the investigators in solving or getting for its conclusion.
