A requirement for the economically viable production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass is the development of efficient, low-cost processes for the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose, as well as mild pretreatments to enhance the digestibility of the biomass with minimal losses of the polysaccharides. Another recent trend is the use of high initial concentrations of b…
There is currently a great interest in the economically viable production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. Intense research is being conducted aiming to the development of efficient and inexpensive processes for the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose in agroindustrial residues or byproducts, as well as in urban garbage. Enzymes are responsible for a great share of the hydrolys…
Cellulose is one of the major components of agroindustrial by products and constitutes the most abundant renewable carbon source on earth. Nowadays, the enzymatic saccharification of cellulose raises a great interest, since it may generate undeniable environmental and economic benefits, particularly the viable production of second generation bioethanol. The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulo…
