Article Synopsis
- Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is being explored as a potential feedstock for ethanol production through a multi-step process involving acid hydrolysis and enzymatic saccharification.
- Optimal conditions for hydrolysis were found to be 8% slurry content, 200 mM HSO, at 160 °C for 20 minutes, yielding 48.2 g/L of monosaccharides.
- Fermentation using various yeast strains resulted in ethanol production, with adaptive evolution improving yields, indicating water hyacinth's viability as a sustainable biofuel source.
In this study, Ascophyllum nodosum was studied as a biomass for ethanol production. A. nodosum was degraded to monosaccharide by hyper-thermal (HT) acid hydrolysis and enzymatic saccharification and analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM) and the Michaelis-Menten equation.
