Investigating the potential of using moringa oleifera husks for bioethanol production

This study is mainly focusing on ethanol production from Moringa oleifera husks, which is an agricultural waste with no appreciable value to industries or competitive use as food. Such waste presents high concentration of carbohydrates, thus it can be viewed as a potential raw material for bio ethan...
