Abstract
The microwave assisted pretreatment on sugarcane leaf (SCL) biomass for delignification was studied to enhance cellulose digestibility. In this work, microwave assisted with additives were used to delignification SCL for maximize sugar yield recovery. Single factorial and Central composite design (CCD) were employed to optimize the microwave assisted pretreatment conditions for improve delignification efficiency and the sugar yield recovery. The optimized pretreatment conditions were determined to be 4 min pre-treatment time, 500 W microwave power, 1.0 M Na2CO3 and 10 % biomass loading condition produce maximum reducing sugar yield (601 mg g-1) and glucose sugar yield (231 mg g-1) were achieved during saccharification. Pretreated biomass produced reducing sugar and glucose yields that were 4.5 and 4.1 times higher than those of untreated (native) SCL-N biomass, respectively. Additionally, the recyclability study of black liquor, obtained from optimized conditioned treatment of SCL-MSC (Microwave-assisted sodium carbonate pretreated SCL) resulted in considerable saccharification yield up to three pretreatment cycles. The 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra studies illustrate that aromatic units present in SCL fractionated lignin samples. The variations of structure features and chemical compositions of the raw and pretreated SCL biomass were analyzed by SEM, XRD and XPS analysis. Overall, SCL-MSC pretreatment condition significantly delignification of SCL and led to the maximum sugar production optimized strategies pretreatment conditions was produced maximum amount of sugar, which is great potential for bio-refinery product development.

Assessment of the Pretreatments and Bioconversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass Recovered from the Husk of the Cocoa Pod. ENERGIES 2022.

Abstract
The production of biofuels (biogas, ethanol, methanol, biodiesel, and solid fuels, etc.), beginning with cocoa pod husk (CPH), is a way for obtaining a final product from the use of the principal waste product of the cocoa industry. However, there are limitations to the bioconversion of the material due to its structural components (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin). Currently, CPH pretreatment methods are considered a good approach towards the improvement of both the degradation process and the production of biogas or ethanol. The present document aims to set out the different methods for pretreating lignocellulosic material, which are: physical (grinding and extrusion, among others); chemical (acids and alkaline); thermochemical (pyrolysis); ionic liquid (salts); and biological (microorganism) to improve biofuel production. The use of CPH as a substrate in bioconversion processes is a viable and promising option, despite the limitations of each pretreatment method.

Abstract
This study comprehensively investigated two bamboo species (i.e. Neosinocalamus affinis and Phyllostachys edulis) in terms of their cell wall ultrastructure, chemical compositions, enzymatic saccharification, and lignin structure before and after alkaline hydrogen peroxide pretreatment (AHP). During AHP, Neosinocalamus affinis (NAB) had higher delignification than Phyllostachys edulis (PEB), and thus showed better enzymatic digestibility (93.05% vs 53.57% for glucan). The fundamental chemical behavior of the bamboo lignins was analyzed by fluorescence microscope (FM), confocal Raman microscope (CRM), molecular weight analysis, and 2D HSQC-NMR. Results indicated that the PEB has thicker cell wall and more concentrated lignin in its compound middle lamella and cell corner middle lamella than NAB. Moreover, PEB lignin contains more G units (S/G of 0.95), in evident contrast to that of NAB lignin (S/G of 1.30), which favor the formation of C-C linkages, thus impeding its degradation during the AHP.

Abstract
Bamboo shoot shell (BSS), as agricultural waste, is mostly burned or discarded, causing serious environment pollution. In this study, the degradation and utilization of BSS by the edible fungus Volvariella Volvacea was investigated. The composition of V. volvacea fruit body was determined by HPLC-MS, GC-MS and ICP-OES. The activities of CMCase and xylanase were monitored by DNS (3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid) method. Laccase activity was assayed by the oxidation reaction of ABTS [2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate)]. The degraded bamboo shoot shell powder was characterized by FTIR and SEM. The results showed that the mycelium of V. volvacea could degrade and utilize BSS for growth. The activities of carboxymethyl cellulase and laccase were increased during the cultivation. At the same time, the physical structure of the shell fiber becames porous and rough. Most of the products of decayed fibers contain alkanes, ethyl or methyl groups. Moreover, the biological efficiency (fruiting body yield) of V. volvacea cultivated on BSS was 1.52-fold higher than that of straw cultivation. The contents of total lipid, elaidic acid (C18:1n-9), total essential amino acids, total amino acids and iron in V. volvacea fruit bodies grown on BSS were 1.11, 1.66, 1.52, 1.60 and 1.30-fold higher than those of straw treatment, respectively. This study provides an effective method to solve the environmental pollution caused by BSS, and provides a new way for the potential utilization of BSS in edible fungi cultivation.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2020; 310:123372.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is well suited to address present day energy and environmental concerns, since it is abundant, environmentally benign and sustainable. However, the commercial application of LCB has been limited by its recalcitrant structure. To date, several biomass pretreatment systems have been developed to address this major bottleneck but have shown to be toxic and costly. Alkali and metal salt pretreatment regimes have emerged as promising non-toxic and low-cost treatments. This paper examines the progress made in lignocellulosic pretreatment using alkali and metal salts. The reaction mechanism of alkali and metal chloride salts on lignocellulosic biomass degradation are reviewed. The effect of salt pretreatment on lignin removal, hemicellulose solubilization, cellulose crystallinity, and physical structural changes are also presented. In addition, the enzymatic digestibility and inhibitor profile from salt pretreated lignocellulosic biomass are discussed. Furthermore, the challenges and future prospects on lignocellulosic pretreatment and bioethanol production are highlighted.

Abstract
To overcome the delignification saturation point in traditional alkaline hydrogen peroxide pretreatment (AHP), a powerful modified AHP delignification methodology was established by introducing ethanol into the system. The pretreatment caused significant lignin removal of bamboo at elevated pretreatment temperature with the highest lignin removal reaching 80.0% at 100 °C, higher than that (74.9% lignin removal) in pretreatment without the ethanol assistance. In addition, a certain amount of carbohydrates was also solubilized during the process whose recovery was 83.3% (glucan) and 67.6% (hemicellulose), respectively. The pretreated solid exhibited excellent enzymatic digestibility, with hydrolysis yields of ~100% and 95.7% for glucan and xylan, respectively. Our studies further indicate that this delignification methodology is versatile for hardwood and herbaceous plants, but does not perform well on softwood.

Abstract
A procedure for the alkaline pretreatment of sisal fiber assisted by ultrasound was optimized to obtain a higher solubilization of hemicellulose and the removal of lignin with cellulose fraction maintenance. A full factorial design 23 was used for the evaluation of the effects of the variables (sonication time, NaOH concentration, and sonication amplitude) on the pretreatment. The optimal values for the variables using the Doehlert matrix for the sonication time, NaOH concentration, and sonication amplitude were 27 min, 4.1% (m/v), and 50%, respectively. The X-ray diffractometry and scanning electron microscopy analyses, after pretreatment, showed changes in chemical structure and morphology due to the removal of 82% of hemicellulose and 86% of lignin from sisal fiber. The soft reaction conditions and relatively short times demonstrated the effectiveness of the combined action of ultrasound with alkaline pretreatment to improve the accessibility to cellulose in this important step of the ethanol production process from biomass.

Abstract
Converting lignin into value-added products in current lignocellulosic biorefineries has been challenging, which in turn restricts the commercialization of many lignocellulosic biorefineries. In this work, a two-stage alkali-oxygen assisted liquid hot water pretreatment (AlkOx) was proposed as the first step of biorefinery. This alkali-oxygen pretreatment facilitated biomass fractionation by solubilizing majority of lignin in water-soluble fraction, while remaining most of cellulose and hemicellulose in water-insoluble fraction. As a result, biomass saccharification was significantly improved by selective removal and oxidative modification of lignin through alkali-oxygen pretreatment. Moreover, lignin residues from both pretreatment hydrolysate and enzymatic hydrolysate were shown to be favorable adsorbents for Pb(II) ions, with adsorption capacity of 263.16 and 90.91 mg/g, respectively. Results demonstrated that this integrated process could not only improve biomass saccharification but also enable lignin valorization, which encouraged the holistic utilization of lignin residues as part of an integrated biorefinery.

Abstract
This short communication analyzed enzymolysis kinetics and estimated the resource conversion efficiency of corn cobs. Three pretreatments were applied, and enzymatic hydrolysis was performed to obtain solid residues. The enzymolysis process was fit to a modified logistic formula. The kinetics of enzymolysis were similar for all pretreatments, and all kinetics fit the modified logistic formula. Resource conversion efficiency and saccharification efficiency were estimated for the following pretreatments: 69% and 86% for acid steam explosion, 59% and 73% for alkali soaking, 41% and 51% for water steam explosion, respectively. It can be concluded that pretreatment has a minor effect on the enzymolysis process of corn cobs and a greater effect on saccharification efficiency or resource conversion efficiency.

Abstract
This study investigates the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process for bioethanol production from corn cobs with prehydrolysis (PSSF) and without prehydrolysis (OSSF). Two response surface models were developed with high coefficients of determination (>0.90). Process optimization gave high bioethanol concentrations and bioethanol conversions for the PSSF (36.92 ± 1.34 g/L and 62.36 ± 2.27%) and OSSF (35.04 ± 0.170 g/L and 58.13 ± 0.283%) models respectively. Additionally, the logistic and modified Gompertz models were used to study the kinetics of microbial cell growth and ethanol formation under microaerophilic and anaerobic conditions. Cell growth in the OSSFmicroaerophilic process gave the highest maximum specific growth rate (µmax) of 0.274 h-1. The PSSFmicroaerophilic bioprocess gave the highest potential maximum bioethanol concentration (Pm) (42.24 g/L). This study demonstrated that microaerophilic rather than anaerobic culture conditions enhanced cell growth and bioethanol production, and that additional prehydrolysis steps do not significantly impact on the bioethanol concentration and conversion in SSF process.

Abstract
This paper intended to explore the effect of alkaline H₂O₂ pretreatment on the biodegradability and the methane generation potential of greenhouse crop waste. A multi-variable experimental design was implemented. In this approach, initial solid content (3⁻7%), reaction time (6⁻24 h), H₂O₂ concentration (1⁻3%), and reaction temperature (50⁻100 °C) were varied in different combinations to determine the impact of alkaline H₂O₂ pretreatment. The results indicated that the alkaline H₂O₂ pretreatment induced a significant increase in the range of 200⁻800% in chemical oxygen demand (COD) leakage into the soluble phase, and boosted the methane generation potential from 174 mLCH₄/g of volatile solid (VS) to a much higher bracket of 250⁻350 mLCH₄/gVS. Similarly, the lignocellulosic structure of the material was broken down and hydrolyzed by H₂O₂ dosing, which increased the rate of volatile matter utilization from 31% to 50⁻70% depending on selected conditions. Alkaline H₂O₂ pretreatment was optimized to determine optimal conditions for the enhancement of methane generation assuming a cost-driven approach. Optimal alkaline H₂O₂ pretreatment conditions were found as a reaction temperature of 50 °C, 7% initial solid content, 1% H₂O₂ concentration, and a reaction time of six h. Under these conditions, the biochemical methane potential (BMP) test yielded as 309 mLCH₄/gVS. The enhancement of methane production was calculated as 77.6% compared to raw greenhouse crop wastes.

Abstract
Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) substrates with different chemical compositions were prepared by different pretreatments including dilute acid (DA), acidic sodium chlorite (ASC), alkali solution (AS), and alkali hydrogen peroxide (AHP). The compositions and chemical structures of pretreated SCB were characterized by HPLC, FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The addition of xylanase can significantly boost cellulase to hydrolyze cellulose and xylan especially for AS and AHP treated substrates. The obvious linear relationships between lignin removal and substrate digestibility were observed. ASC treated substrates obtained the highest digestibility (98.87%) of cellulose due to sufficiently removing lignin from SCB, whereas AHP treated substrates achieved the highest digestibility (84.61%) of xylan by cleaving the acetyl group on xylan and extending delignification. It was found that the synergistic effects between cellulase and xylanase were substrate and time specific. The better degree of synergy for the sugar production was in the initial hydrolysis stage but decreased in the later hydrolysis stage. The synergistic effects between cellulase and xylanase were substrate and time specific during the hydrolysis of pretreated SCB.![]()

BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS 2018; 11:263. [PMID: 30263064 PMCID: PMC6157062 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-018-1251-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2018] [Accepted: 09/06/2018] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the increasing demands of energy and depletion of fossil fuel, bamboo is considered to be one of the most important renewable biological resources on the basis of its advantages of rapid growth ability and rich reserves. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the three most important constituents in moso bamboo. Their concentrations and, especially, their microscopic distributions greatly affect their utilization efficiency and other physical properties as a biomass resource. However, no studies have achieved a quantitative visualization of the distribution of lignocellulose concentrations in transverse sections of bamboo. Therefore, this study proposed the use of quantitative multivariate spectral analysis to reveal the micro-chemical distribution of lignocelluloses in bamboo based on an integration of FTIR macro- and micro-spectroscopic imaging techniques. RESULTS Multivariate calibration models for the quantitative determination of lignocelluloses of bamboo were developed based on FTIR macro-spectroscopy, and the quantitative calibration models based on the FTIR characteristic bands showed an excellent performance with determination coefficients of 0.933, 0.878, and 0.912 for cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, respectively. These quantitative models were then utilized to the FTIR micro-spectroscopy of bamboo transverse sections which were corrected using a direct standardization algorithm. Subsequently, the micro-chemical distributions of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin were obtained based on the integration of the multivariate calibration models and corrected FTIR micro-spectroscopy. The combination of the multivariate calibration models and calibration transfer algorithm resulted in a final quantitative visualization of the chemical distributions of lignocelluloses in moso bamboos. CONCLUSIONS Integration of the FTIR macro- and micro-spectroscopic imaging techniques can provide comprehensive information that can be used to exploit the resource of moso bamboo to develop biofuels and biosynthetic materials.

Abstract
Overcoming the recalcitrance barrier of cellulosic biomass for efficient production of fermentable sugars at low cost is the current limitation for the industrialization of lignocellulosic biorefineries. In the present work, a two-step non-enzymatic strategy was developed for the fractionation of the main components in bamboo shoot shell (BSS) and conversion of polysaccharides into fermentable sugars by dilute acid in a γ-valerolactone (GVL)/H2O solvent system. About 86.0% of lignin and 87.4% of hemicelluloses were removed in the first step by 0.6% H2SO4 under 140 °C for 1 h with the addition of 60% GVL. The residue solids enriched with cellulose were then subjected to acid hydrolysis employing 0.05% H2SO4 as the catalyst in 80% GVL at 180 °C for 20 min. The maximum total soluble sugar yield achieved in the acid hydrolysate was 70.7%. This research could provide valuable insights into the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass and become a promising alternative to the biomass-derived carbohydrate production scheme. A non-enzymatic method is reported for the production of fermentable sugars from lignocellulose with a high total sugar recovery.![]()

Abstract
This study presents a sequential sodium phosphate dodecahydrate (Na3PO4·12H2O) and zinc chloride (ZnCl2) pretreatment to enhance delignification and enzymatic saccharification of corn cobs. The effects of process parameters of Na3PO4·12H2O concentration (5-15%), ZnCl2 concentration (1-5%) and solid to liquid ratio (5-15%) on reducing sugar yield from corn cobs were investigated. The sequential pretreatment model was developed and optimized with a high coefficient of determination value (0.94). Maximum reducing sugar yield of 1.10±0.01g/g was obtained with 14.02% Na3PO4·12H2O, 3.65% ZnCl2 and 5% solid to liquid ratio. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared analysis (FTIR) showed major lignocellulosic structural changes after the optimized sequential pretreatment with 63.61% delignification. In addition, a 10-fold increase in the sugar yield was observed compared to previous reports on the same substrate. This sequential pretreatment strategy was efficient for enhancing enzymatic saccharification of corn cobs.

Abstract
In this study, dilute alkali salts (0.6% NaClO, 0.067% Na2S) pretreatment at 10% sulfidity under the autoclave system at 120°C for 40min was used for pretreating bamboo shoot shell (BSS). Furthermore, FT-IR, XRD and SEM were employed to characterize the changes in the cellulose structural characteristics (porosity, morphology, and crystallinity) of the pretreated BSS solid residue. After 72h, the reducing sugars and glucose from the enzymatic in situ hydrolysis of 50g/L pretreated BSS in dilute NaClO/Na2S media could be obtained at 31.11 and 20.32g/L, respectively. Finally, the obtained BSS-hydrolysates containing alkalic salt NaClO/Na2S resulted in slightly negative effects on the ethanol production. Glucose in BSS-hydrolysates was fermented from 20.0 to 0.17g/L within 48h, and an ethanol yield of 0.41g/g glucose, which represents 80.1% of the theoretical yield, was obtained. This study provided an effective strategy for potential utilization of BSS.

Abstract
The synthesis of cellulase in filamentous fungi can be triggered by several inducers. In this study, a bamboo-shoot shell pretreated with Pleurotus ostreatus could promote the formation of cellulases in Aspergillus niger. Further identification, including UPLC-TOF-MS, ultrafiltration, and FT-IR, denoted that the soluble inducer was not a traditional disaccharide but a type of modified lignin polymer. This revelation may result in incipient strategies to ameliorate cellulase productivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As a natural renewable biomass, the tea oil fruit hull (TOFH) mainly consists of lignocellulose, together with some bioactive substances. Our earlier work constructed a two-stage solvent-based process, including one aqueous ethanol organosolv extraction and an atmospheric glycerol organosolv (AGO) pretreatment, for bioprocessing of the TOFH into diverse bioproducts. However, the AGO pretreatment is not as selective as expected in removing the lignin from TOFH, resulting in the limited delignification and simultaneously high cellulose loss. RESULTS In this study, acetic acid organosolv (AAO) pretreatment was optimized with experimental design to fractionate the TOFH selectively. Alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) pretreatment was used for further delignification. Results indicate that the AAO-AHP pretreatment had an extremely good selectivity at component fractionation, resulting in 92% delignification and 88% hemicellulose removal, with 87% cellulose retention. The pretreated substrate presented a remarkable enzymatic hydrolysis of 85% for 48 h at a low cellulase loading of 3 FPU/g dry mass. The hydrolyzability was correlated with the composition and structure of substrates by using scanning electron microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. CONCLUSION The mild AAO-AHP pretreatment is an environmentally benign and advantageous scheme for biorefinery of the agroforestry biomass into value-added bioproducts.

Abstract
Na3PO4 and Na2S were employed as efficient alkaline catalysts for the pretreatment of corn stover. To systematically obtain optimal conditions, the effects of critical pretreatment parameters including sodium phosphate concentration (1-4%), sulfidity (0-20%), pretreatment temperature (100-120°C), and reaction time (20-60min) on the reducing sugar yield of pretreated substrates were evaluated in a lab-scale using the response surface methodology. Pretreated under the sodium phosphate concentration of 4%, sulfidity of 10%, temperature of 120°C, and reaction time of 40min, the reducing sugar yield and glucose yield of the pretreated corn stover achieved 91.11% and 64.01%, respectively, with a moderate enzyme loading of 30FPU/g substrate. Additionally, a strong correlation (R(2)=0.971 and R(2)=0.954) between the delignification and the reducing sugar yield (or glucose yield) was observed by this pretreatment method. These results evidently support that the combined Na3PO4-Na2S pretreatment is an effective and feasible method for processing lignocellulosic biomass.
