Assessment of the structural factors controlling the enzymatic saccharification of rice straw cellulose

Abstract: Pretreatment Cellulase Saccharification Structural factors a b s t r a c tIn this study, the structural factors controlling the enzymatic saccharification of rice straw cellulose were examined by preparing structure-modified rice straw samples such as dewaxed, alkali-treated, oxidized, and swollen rice straw. It was found that the initial enzymatic saccharification rate of the various structure-modified samples was largely controlled by the initial cellulose surface area of the cellulose unit. Although the pre… Show more

“…The carbon and oxygen atoms typically originated from the natural fiber. The relatively high content of silica was commonly found in RS, and the value of 9.15% was consistent with other reports [27,28]. After pretreatment, the EDX spectra showed higher percentage of carbon than oxygen, which may reflect the cellulosic component [29].…”

“…The silica content decreased about 3-fold, indicating that the pretreatment affected the silica layers. Possibly, the reduction of silica may be associated with lignin removal by pretreatment, as silica is complexed with lignin moieties in rice plant [28]. The silica-lignin matrix hinders cellulase reaction.…”

“…The untreated sample ( Figure 4 ) showed the RS fragments with different dimensions that reveals the original structure of the RS tissue. This has numerous vascular bundles in different layers, consisting of a waxy cuticle, silicate epidermis, cortex (collenchyma), a thick lignified layer (sclerenchyma) and ground tissue (parenchyma) that contained cellulose microfibrils covered with lignin and hemicellulose [ 38 ]. Most of the particles resulting from the milling operation exhibit the fibrillar nature of the original tissue.…”

“…In vitro digestibility has received extensive acceptance as an evaluation index on the nutritional value of ruminant roughages (Rymer et al ., 2005; Zhao et al ., 2021). Given that the digestibility is negatively associated with the content of lignin and silica, rice straw silages usually present poor in vitro digestibility (Seo and Sakoda, 2014). In this regard, the IVDMD, IVNDFD and IVADFD of all silages were below 0.4.…”
