Design and Optimization of Ethanol Production from Bagasse Pith Hydrolysate by a Thermotolerant Yeast Kluyveromyces sp. IIPE453 Using Response Surface Methodology
Abstract:Sugarcane bagasse is a potential feedstock for cellulosic ethanol production, rich in both glucan and xylan. This stresses the importance of utilizing both C 6 and C 5 sugars for conversion into ethanol in order to improve the process economics. During processing of the hydrolysate degradation products such as acetate, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural are formed, which are known to inhibit microbial growth at higher concentrations. In the current study, conversion of both glucose and xylose sugars in… Show more
