This study compares different types of pretreatment methods, such as thermal at 120 °C, autoclaving, microwaving and ultrasonication in the presence water, dilute acid (1% H2SO4) or alkali NaOH) on Sorghum stalk with respect to holocellulose Acid Detergent/Insoluble Lignin content. Among all 1% NaOH along autoclaving 121 °C 15 psi for 30 min was most effective method stalk. Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy analysis this pretreated biomass showed removal lignin Field Emission Scanning...
Optimization of pretreatment and saccharification Sorghum durra stalk (Sds) was carried out. The chimeric enzyme (CtGH1-L1-CtGH5-F194A) having β-glucosidase (CtGH1) endo β-1,4 glucanase activity (CtGH5-F194A) cellobiohydrolase (CtCBH5A) from Clostridium thermocellum were used for saccharification. Chimeric will save production cost two enzymes, individually. Stage 2 by 1% (w/v) NaOH assisted autoclaving + 1.5% (v/v) dilute H2SO4 oven heating gave lower total sugar yield (366.6 mg/g...
