Simultaneous pretreatment and saccharification of bamboo for biobutanol production

Solid state fermentation and crude cellulase based bioconversion of potential bamboo biomass to reducing sugar for bioenergy production

“…Sopajarn and Sangwichien used CCD in RSM to optimize the cellulase saccharification process in order to obtain high glucose from cattail material (wetland plants) for bioethanol production. Furthermore, other studies have also followed RSM for optimization of various pretreatment and saccharification conditions . Experimental validation under our predicted optimal conditions yielded 47.19% saccharification (Table ) of fungal pretreated biomass.…”

“…Furthermore, other studies have also followed RSM for optimization of various pretreatment and saccharification conditions. 5,38,42,44 Experimental validation under our predicted optimal conditions yielded 47.19% saccharification (Table 7) of wileyonlinelibrary.com/jsfa fungal pretreated biomass. Thus overall good agreement was observed between experimentally determined (observed) and predicted responses.…”

“…China and India are potential producers of bamboo biomass in the world, with a production rate of about 32 million tons per year or more. Compared with other available lignocellulosic feedstocks, bamboo biomass has a relatively high cellulose and low lignin content, making it suitable for bioethanol production . Furthermore, the growth rate and oxygen release of the grass are very high, so high biomass yield in less time can be obtained for ethanol production.…”

Life cycle thinking case study for catalytic wet air oxidation of lignin in bamboo biomass for vanillin production

“…xylo-oligosaccharides production is under development. 14,15 Vanillin is one of the most widely used flavours, produced naturally via the vanilla pod (Vanilla planifoila) but this cannot meet current world demand and has been the focus of research to improve synthetic methods. Quantification of more environmentally friendly vanillin production processes have been reported previously through LCA.…”

Polymers from Bamboo Extracts Produced by Laccase

“…Liu studied the enzymatic treatment on mechanochemical modified bamboo to extract non-cellulosic matters from finer bamboo fibers in nature, and laccase was used to loosen the compact structure of bamboo fibers [8]. Kumar attempted the procedure of the simultaneous pretreatment and saccharification of bamboo to produce fermentable sugars using laccase [22]. However, few reports on the applications of laccase concerning woody materials could be found, especially related to the laccase polymerization of bamboo powder extracts.…”
