The study aimed to determine the effects of selected fermentation parameters on bioethanol production from ripe carabao mango (Mangifera indica) peelings. Based on the results of the study, untreated peelings has compositional analysis in w/w% of 41.51%, 32.10%, 25.94% and 20.05% of extractives, holocellulose, alpha cellulose and acid insoluble respectively. On the other hand, after dilute acid pretreatment, the compositional analysis of extractives, holocellulose, alpha cellulose, acid insoluble lignin, acid soluble lignin and hemicelluloses were 15.71%, 76.01, 73.21%, 48.88%, 5.57% and 2.81% respectively.Findings also showed that there is a significant difference in the aforementioned properties before and after undergoing dilute acid pre-treatment.
