Article Synopsis
- Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) from agriculture, like banana fiber, is promising for creating valuable products but faces challenges due to its tough structure, requiring effective pretreatment methods like EnZolv, which is eco-friendly.
- The study focuses on optimizing EnZolv process conditions for better sugar release from banana fiber, finding that specific moisture, temperature, enzyme load, and shaking speed yield enhanced sugar output.
- Results showed that optimized pretreatment reduced volatile matter and moisture while increasing ash and fixed carbon content, alongside a significant reduction in lignin, indicated by a high release of phenol content.
