Abstract: Lignocellulosic cocoa (Theobroma cacaoL.)podswereagricultural waste product. That materialwas rarely usedtoproducebioethanolas alternativebiofuelsthat were environmentally friendly. The process ofbioethanol productionfromcocoapodscould bedone throughsimultaneoussaccharification andfermentation SSF). The objectiveof this studywas todetermine the effect oftime variation of Saccharomyces cerevisiaeinoculationtosimultaneoussaccharification andfermentation ofcocoapodsbiomassforbioethanolproduction. The resultsindicate thatcocoapodscould producebioethanolwiththe highestcontent of bioethanol (4.33%w/w)inthe 6th day of S. cerevisiaeinoculation.
