A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for determining furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in biomass hydrolysate was developed. The extraction procedure used n-butanol as the solvent to collect HMF from hydrolysate. C18 column ultraviolet–visible detector were separation detection units determination of HMF, respectively. new performed well with wide linear ranges 0.01–0.5 mg/mL (R2 > 0.9994), low limits quantitation (less than 0.003 0.009 mg/mL), good recoveries...
In this study, the relationships between ethanol yield/concentration and solid loading (6-21%) were investigated to enhance titer avoid a random choice of for simultaneous saccharification fermentation (SSF). Alkali-pretreated hemp biomass was used SSF in four scenarios including Case I: 30 filter paper unit (FPU)-cellulase 140 fungal xylanase (FXU)-hemicellulase/g-solid; II: 40 FPU-cellulase FXU-hemicellulase/g-solid; III: FXU-hemicellulase/g-solid with 1% Tween80; IV: particle size...
Hempseed products has been used as nutraceutical supplements and pharmaceutical products. However, hempseed underutilized a food crop for human consumption. To fill the gap of limited knowledge variation consumption, thirteen hemp varieties were selected to evaluate effect genotype on physicochemical, nutritional, antioxidant properties hempseed. The tested contains 26.48–32.03% crude protein with average 28.48%, 28.03–33.23% oil 29.54%, 28.78–36.55% fiber 33.49%, 5.43%–6.32% ash 5.89....
Chemical composition of biomass, especially carbohydrate content, is a critical indicator biomass source’s potential for biofuel applications. This study characterized physico-chemical properties stalks from 16 representative pedigreed sorghum mutant lines. The objectives this were to evaluate the recovery sucrose and its hydrolysis products, glucose fructose, during dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment at conditions typically used lignocellulosic determine relationship between water-extractive...
The present study focuses on the use of thermophilic recombinant cellulases to produce fermentable sugars for conversion bioethanol which is an important renewable energy resource be worked upon due climatic change, insecurity and nonrenewable nature fossil fuels. Therefore, sawdust pinus wood was subjected pretreatment using different acids such as phosphoric, nitric, acetic alkalis i.e. sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide ammonia in various concentrations. Maximum delignification observed...
