“…One of the main applications of bagasse is the bioconversion process that makes it an adequate fermentation media for microorganism production [43]. Another important research area regarding sugarcane bagasse is related to its use as a solid fuel for energy generation and as raw material for production of liquid fuels and chemicals [44]; therefore, a significant amount of research has been done in order to evaluate different pretreatments to improve its energy production capacity [45], e.g., enzyme addition and solids loading [46]. A third venue of research includes other uses of sugarcane bagasse for other industries, e.g., the textile [47], plastic [48], construction [49,50], pharmaceutical [51], and chemical industries [52], among others.…”

Sugarcane is one of the main crops worldwide, and it has an important impact on environmental issues. A bibliometric mapping analysis of the research on sugarcane was carried out, using data on the titles, abstracts, and keywords of articles published in leading journals and other peer-reviewed documents available in the SCOPUS database from 1858 to 2019 (27 August), and this was subsequently analyzed with the software VOSviewer. The three most important countries that publish research and were most-cited regarding sugarcane were Brazil, the USA, and India. The analysis of the co-occurrence of terms shows that the main research areas were sugarcane bagasse and terms related to bioenergy, and on a second level of relevance agronomy topics related to increasing crop yields. This first attempt to visualize the abundance of publications regarding sugarcane in their totality is in itself a good starting point for further scientific discussion.

“…It can be made into paper, containers, or be used as a plastic substitute [54,[121][122][123][124][125]. Recently, the use of bagasse to produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) has also been explored, providing similar properties as the fossil fuelbased polymer [126][127][128].…”

The agricultural sector is a major source of biomass feedstocks for biofuels. Even though biomass potential in Thailand has been analyzed on a national level, its distribution and potential have yet to be assessed on a regional and provincial scale. Therefore, the study aims to verify the possibility of decentralized second-generation bioethanol production from regionally available agricultural residues. Most of the generated residues stem from the country’s major crops (sugarcane, cassava, rice and palm), totaling 174.1 million tons per year. The volume of bioethanol from these residues is projected to be 20,213.5 million liters per year, meeting 31.2% of the overall fuel demand of the transport sector. At the regional level, the northeast produces the highest amount of bioethanol at 9099.7 million liters per year, followed by the central, northern and southern regions. In terms of provincial distribution, the highest amount of bioethanol is converted in Nakhon Ratchasima, amounting to 1328 million liters per year. Data from the top ten potential provinces suggest that decentralizing production facilities is possible. One of the hotspots is Surat Thani in the south which can potentially utilize palm residues as feedstocks. This regionalized assessment also found that conventional feedstocks could be substituted with regionally available residues in the 26 production plants currently in operation. The results confirm that there would be enough alternative regional feedstocks to meet existing production capacities and they indicate that there would be enough regional residues left over for future value-added utilization.

“…Owing to its site availability at sugar industries, SB can be used to generate additional revenues by utilizing it for the synthesis of chemicals, fuels and enzymes [2]. Pakistan, China, Mexico, India, Philippines, Thailand and Brazil are the major sugarcane producing countries [3] and therefore, can be befitted by adopting SB-based technologies. SB is a polysaccharides rich waste and hence a promising raw material in context of biorefineries [4] which can be utilized in various transformation processes.…”

“…Therefore, the advances in biorefineries from SB have been investigated in numerous studies, with an immense range of configurations [ 5 ]. Sugar monomers like xylose and glucose can be obtained from SB which can be utilized in fermentation process to produce xylitol, lactic acid, ethanol, succinic acid, biopolymers, arabitol, electricity and antioxidants [ 3 , 6 ].…”

Background Lignin in sugarcane bagasse (SB) hinders its utilization by microorganism, therefore, pretreatment methods are employed to make fermentable components accessible to the microbes. Multivariate analysis of different chemical pretreatment methods can aid to select the most appropriate strategy to valorize a particular biomass. Results Amongst methods tested, the pretreatment by using sodium hydroxide in combination with methyltrioctylammonium chloride, an ionic liquid, (NaOH+IL) was the most significant for xylanase production by Bacillus aestuarii UE25. Investigation of optimal levels of five significant variables by adopting Box-Behnken design (BBD) predicted 20 IU mL− 1 of xylanase and experimentally, a titer of 17.77 IU mL− 1 was obtained which indicated the validity of the model. The production kinetics showed that volumetric productivity of xylanase was much higher after 24 h (833.33 IU L− 1 h− 1) than after 48 h (567.08 IU L− 1 h− 1). The extracted xylan from SB induced more xylanase in the fermentation medium than pretreated SB or commercially purified xylan. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy of SB indicated removal of lignin and changes in the structure of SB after NaOH+IL pretreatment and fermentation. Conclusion Combined pretreatment of SB with alkali and methyltrioctylammonium chloride appeared better than other chemical methods for bacterial xylanase production and for the extraction of xylan form SB.
