3D printing by fused deposition modeling (FDM) is an advanced additive manufacturing technology for making thermoplastic-based structures. Several studies have recently investigated of polylactic acid (PLA) with biomass resources like cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and whole biomass. Such biodegradable composites are better the environment can be used to replace non-biodegradable in a variety applications. Therefore, deep understanding such biocomposites needed supporting manufacturing....
Abstract The surplus availability of rice straw, its limited usage, and environmental pollution caused by inefficient burning has fostered research for valorization to biofuels. This review elucidates the current status straw potential around globe along with recent advances in revealing critical factors responsible recalcitrance chemical properties. role accumulation high silica content been elucidated impact on enzymatic hydrolysis a biorefinery environment. correlation different...
Novel and sustainable pretreatment approaches are desired to improve the techno-commercial feasibility of biorefineries in future. In this study, 10 renewable deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were evaluated for their efficiency at facile conditions with sugar cane bagasse as substrate compared conventional (dilute alkali, dilute acid, ionic liquid (IL)) lignin removal, saccharification yield, cellulose accessibility, crystallinity, physiochemical properties. Although, highest delignification...
Multiple enzymes are required for efficient saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass and no wild type organism is capable producing all in desired levels. In this study, steam explosion wheat straw was carried out at pilot scale a synthetic enzyme mixture (EnzMix) developed by partially replacing the cellulase with critical dosages commercially available accessory (β-glucosidase, xylanase laccase) through central composite design. Highest degree synergism (DS) observed β-glucosidase...
Improved saccharification by exploiting the synergism between biomass degrading enzymes.
Abstract Surplus availability of rice straw (RS) presents it as a potential feedstock for ethanol production. Steam explosion (SE) is considered green approach to extract fermentable sugars at lower cost. The present study deals with the reaction condition optimization water and dilute acid assisted steam different temperatures explores effect structural properties solid residue on enzymatic hydrolysis along mass balance. SE conditions were optimized pilot scale, raising temperature from 170...
Enzymatic hydrolysis at high solids has potential to reduce both capital and operational expenditures. Here, dilute acid pretreatment of rice straw was carried out on pilot scale (250 kg per day) 162°C for 10 min 0.35% concentration followed by enzymatic different total loading. It showed that although sugar increased from 48 g/l 132 but glucan conversion reduced 27% (84% 66.2%) with increasing 5% 20% in batch mode. Therefore, two fed-batch approaches were evaluated improve the via...

The extracellular β-glucosidase from microorganisms is generally produced in low levels. Therefore, this study, a hyperproducing mutant was developed by multiple exposures of ethyl methyl sulfonate (EMS) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation (both individually jointly) to Bacillus subtilis strain (PS). mutants were screened, selected characterized. mutant, PS-UM1 after UV exposure alone, indicated small increase production (718 U/l) comparison the wild-type strain, PS (675 U/l). PS-CM5 EMS...
Disaccharides or their derivatives were analyzed for the induction of cellulases by Penicillium janthinellum EMS-UV-8 mutant. Among seven (Crocin, Gentiobiose, Cellobiose, α-D-Cellobiose octaacetate, Trehalose, Melibiose, Turanose) different compounds tested, octaacetate (COA) was found to be promising cellulases. The maximum 0.8 IU/mL filter paper units, 4.7 β–glucosidase and 1.0 mg/mL protein produced using 0.1% (weight/volume) COA as an inducer 1% glucose a carbon source growth. Next...
