Bioconversion of Sugarcane Biomass into Ethanol: An Overview about Composition, Pretreatment Methods, Detoxification of Hydrolysates, Enzymatic Saccharification, and Ethanol Fermentation

Abstract: Depleted supplies of fossil fuel, regular price hikes of gasoline, and environmental damage have necessitated the search for economic and eco-benign alternative of gasoline. Ethanol is produced from food/feed-based substrates (grains, sugars, and molasses), and its application as an energy source does not seem fit for long term due to the increasing fuel, food, feed, and other needs. These concerns have enforced to explore the alternative means of cost competitive and sustainable supply of biofuel. Sugarcane r… Show more

“…Production of fuel ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass so called secondgeneration (2G) ethanol is an important necessity due to the heavy usage of gasoline worldwide and environmental pollution. The 2G ethanol is completely renewable and is able to reduce atmospheric pollution due to the lower release of carbon dioxide, while offering several geo-political benefits [3]. Sugarcane bagasse (SB), a fibrous product after extraction of juice is an excellent carbohydrate source (*67 %) for 2G ethanol production [3].…”

“…The pretreatment of SB is an inevitable step to increase the accessibility of carbohydrate fraction towards enzymatic action [3]. Dilute acid hydrolysis of lignocellulosics is a fast and effective process but, it has bottlenecks, such as, by-product formation and non-selectivity [5].…”

“…This implies not only the glucose obtained from the cellulose, but also the sugars released from the hemicellulose (Díaz et al, 2009). The dilute-acid hydrolysis pre-treatment is commonly used to separate hemicellulose and the resulting hemicellulosic hydrolysate can also be fermented to produce ethanol (Canilha et al, 2012).…”

“…In 2010, the production of sugarcane bagasse in Indonesia was about 2.9 million tons per year [19]. Several alternatives for sugarcane bagasse utilization have been developed, such as animal feed [20], bioethanol feedstock [21][22][23], and carrier for immobilization [5,8].…”
