    Abstract:
    Nowadays, ethanol (ethyl alcohol, bioethanol) is one of the most commonly used liquid biofuels, playing a vital role in industrial development. There are some advanced technologies available to produce ethanol by fermentation of agricultural wastes, fruit wastes, municipal and industrial wastes. Herein, the dried carrot pulp as a source of raw material has been utilized for the production of bioethanol by using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and beet molasses inoculated at 28 °C for 72 h. The results have revealed that the highest amount of alcohol (10.3 ml (40.63 g/l)) has been obtained in a sample containing 50 ml of inoculum, 150 ml of water, and 10 g of dried waste. This study has proved the potential of dried carrot pulp to be converted into a value-added product such as ethanol.
