ABSTRACT

The peels of plantain and banana were used for the production of alcohol by saccharification through acid hydrolysis, fermentation and distillation. The result obtained showed that the alcohol produced with plantain peel had pH 3.80, titrable acidity of 0.69%, specific gravity of 0.99%, Total acidity of 1 .73% and alcohol yield of 10.62%. On the other hand, that of banana peels had pH of 3.70, titrable acidity 0.7 1%, specific gravity 0.98%. Total acidity 1.34% and alcohol yield of 12.10% w/v.
