The production of ethanol from sorghum lignocellulosic-materials by a sequential methodology was investigated in the present work. The methodology involves first the enzymatic hydrolysis of the lignocellulosic materials and later the alcoholic fermentation of the hydrolysate with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The kinetics of both stages are characteriz...

Sida acuta, a common type of weed in Thailand, contains relatively high cellulose (42.7%) content. We pretreated NaOH to improve glucose recovery from S. acuta. The effect of pretreatment temperature and NaOH concentration was fundamentally investigated based on hydrolysis efficiency with recovery of solid fraction. The pretreatment condition was d...
Biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to liquid fuels requires pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of the biomass to produce fermentable sugars. Degradation products produced during thermochemical pretreatment, however, inhibit the microbes with regard to both ethanol yield and cell growth. In this work, we used synthetic hydrolysates...
Non-wood lignocellulosic biomass is a promising raw material that can be converted into glucose for cellulosic
ethanol production. Since pretreatment could improve the enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass, a comparison of enzymatic hydrolysability among different pretreated non-wood biomasses was presented in this study. Results sh...
