Abstract
Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) is a lignocellulosic by-product of the production of (1G) ethanol and is a promising substrate for second generation (2G) bioethanol production. Since pretreatment of a lignocellulosic biomass is required to improve bioconversion (releasing fermentable sugars such as pentoses), it also produces a great amount of chemical of inhibitors of the subsequent fermentation…
