Abstract Pretreatment is an inevitable step in the bioethanol / biochemicals production process which lignocellulosic biomass (LB) converted to fermentable sugars. It has a large impact on cost, constituting approximately 40% of total processing cost or biochemical production. Several physical, chemical, physicochemical, and biological pretreatment approaches are available but there certain limitations use all these methods scale, mainly include high costs, generation toxic inhibitors,...
Bioconversion of hemicellulosic sugars into second generation (2G) ethanol plays a pivotal role in the overall success biorefineries. In this study, production performance novel xylose-fermenting yeast, Scheffersomyces shehatae UFMG-HM 52.2, was evaluated under batch fermentation conditions using sugarcane bagasse (SB) hydrolysate as carbon source. Dilute acid hydrolysis SB performed to obtain (SBHH). It concentrated, detoxified, and supplemented with nutrients different formulations prepare...
Corncobs are a plentiful lignocellulosic material that can be utilized for energy production as well the generation of other high-value products. Within modern concept biorefineries, we present processes conducted in column reactor valorization corncobs substrate ethanol and xylitol production. In first step, were subjected to acid hydrolysis, resulting hemicellulosic hydrolysate rich xylose sugars intended by Candida tropicalis UFMGBX12-a. The YP/S (yield coefficient product substrate) QP...
Due to its unique physicochemical properties, Pullulan is an exopolysaccharide with many applications in the food, biomedical, and pharmaceutical industries. Aiming reduce production cost, interesting alternative consider other possibilities of raw materials, including this biopolymer a lignocellulosic biorefinery concept. Xylose main sugar hemicellulosic hydrolysates obtained from different biomasses, it still not extensively exploited regarding potential for pullulan production. This study...
The enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is often hindered by lignin, which acts as a physical barrier and promotes non-productive enzyme adsorption. This study evaluated the potential soybean protein in powdered cavitated forms, along with lactonic sophorolipid biosurfactant (LSLB), to enhance sugar yields from cellulignin derived sugarcane bagasse, residue high lignin content. A Box–Behnken design was used investigate effects loading (10–20 FPU/g cellulignin), powder (10–30% w/w...
