Enhanced Sugar and Bioethanol Production from Broom Grass via NaOH-Autoclave Pretreatment.

The effective utilization of nonfood biomass for bioethanol production represents a promising strategy for sustainable energy development. Moreover, limited research has been conducted on broom grass () as a potential feedstock for bioethanol production, particularly regarding the effects of NaOH autoclave pretreatment on its enzymatic digestibility and fermentability. This study optimized sodium hydroxide (NaOH) pretreatment combined with autoclaving to enhance the enzymatic digestibility of broom grass biomass.

Physicochemical Pretreatment of for Bioethanol and Xylitol Production.

The consumption of fossil fuels has resulted in severe environmental consequences, including greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Therefore, transitioning to alternative energy sources, such as cellulosic ethanol, is a promising strategy for reducing environmental impacts and promoting sustainable low-carbon energy. , an invasive weed, has been recognized as a high potential feedstock for sugar-based biorefineries due to its high total carbohydrate content, including glucan (48.

Cellulosic Ethanol Production from Weed Biomass Hydrolysate of .

Lignocellulosic biomass can be used as a renewable and sustainable energy source to help reduce the consequences of global warming. In the new energy age, the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into green and clean energy displays remarkable potential and makes efficient use of waste. Bioethanol is a biofuel that can diminish reliance on fossil fuels while minimizing carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency.

Morphological and Molecular Characterizations of (ABB) 'Mali-Ong' in Thailand.

(ABB) 'Mali-Ong' is an economically important banana cultivar in Thailand. We morphologically and molecularly characterized 'Nam Wa Mali-Ong'. Leaf blade width was the only statistically different morphological character among the clones.

Improved glucose recovery from durian peel by alkaline-catalyzed steam pretreatment.

Durian ( Murr.) peel, as agricultural waste, is a potential under-utilized lignocellulosic biomass that is sufficiently available in Thailand. In this study, durian peel from monthong (.

Intergeneric Hybrid from L. and L.: Characterization and Polyploid Induction.

L. (2n = 2× = 22) is increasingly attracting attention in the biodiesel industry for its oil. However, the cultivation of L.

Combining Autoclaving with Mild Alkaline Solution as a Pretreatment Technique to Enhance Glucose Recovery from the Invasive Weed .

Developing an optimum pretreatment condition to enhance glucose recovery assessed the potential of , which is a common invasive weed in Thailand, as a feedstock for bioethanol production. was exposed to autoclave-assisted alkaline pretreatment by using different sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentrations (1% to 4%) and heat intensities (110 °C to 130 °C) that were dissipated from autoclaving. The optimum condition for pretreatment was determined to be 2% NaOH at 110 °C for 60 min.

Cloning and expression of an endoglucanase gene from the thermotolerant fungus Aspergillus fumigatus DBiNU-1 in Kluyveromyces lactis.

An intronless endoglucanase from thermotolerant Aspergillus fumigatus DBINU-1 was cloned, characterized and expressed in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. The full-length open reading frame of the endoglucanase gene from A. fumigatus DBiNU-1, designated Cel7, was 1383 nucleotides in length and encoded a protein of 460 amino acid residues.

Phosphoric acid pretreatment of Achyranthes aspera and Sida acuta weed biomass to improve enzymatic hydrolysis.

Achyranthes aspera and Sida acuta, two types of weed biomass are abundant and waste in Thailand. We focus on them as novel feedstock for bio-ethanol production because they contain high-cellulose content (45.9% and 46.
