Reduction of inherent structural recalcitrance and improved saccharification efficiency are two important facets to enhance fermentable sugar yield for bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass. This study optimized alkaline pretreatment and saccharification conditions employing response surface methodology to improve saccharification yield of jute (Corchorus olitorius cv. JROB-2) biomass. The biomass is composed of cellulose (66.6 %), lignin (19.4 %) and hemicellulose (13.1 %). NaOH concentration exhibited significant effect on delignification during pretreatment. The highest delignification (80.42 %) was obtained by pretreatment with 2.47 % NaOH at 55.8 °C for 5.9 h removing 79.8 % lignin and 34.2 % hemicellulose from biomass, thereby increasing cell wall porosity and allowing better accessibility to saccharification enzyme. During saccharification optimization, significant effect was observed for biomass loading, enzyme concentration and temperature. Optimized saccharification condition yielded maximum saccharification (76.48 %) when hydrolysis was performed at 6.9 % biomass loading with enzyme concentration of 49.52 FPU/g substrate at 51.05 °C for 74.46 h.

Multifunctionality, processivity, and thermostability are critical for the cost-effective enzymatic saccharification of non-food plant biomass polymers such as β-glucans, celluloses, and xylans to generate biofuels and other valuable products. We present molecular insights into a processive multifunctional endo-1,3-1,4-β-d-glucanase (Tt_End5A) from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermogutta terrifontis. Tt_End5A demonstrated activities against a broad spectrum of β-polysaccharides, including barley glucan, lichenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, regenerated amorphous cellulose (RAC), Avicel, xylan, laminarin, mannan, curdlan, xanthan, and various chromogenic substrates at pH 7 and temperatures ranging from 70 to 80°C.

Lignocellulose is one of the world's most abundant and underutilized biomass resources, and its proper treatment and utilization are critical to environmental issues and sustainable development. However, lignocellulose's inherently compact and intricate structure reduces enzymatic hydrolysis's efficiency, which is still an obstacle to overcome. A new pretreatment method with relatively low-temperature and low-pressure holding (LTLPH) after the traditional extrusion, pulp refining instrument (PFI), and instant catapult steam explosion (ICSE) was proposed to obtain a better output of corn stover saccharification.

Background: The eco-friendly transformation of agro-industrial wastes through microbial bioconversion could address sustainability challenges in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The bulk of agro-industrial waste consists of lignocellulosic materials with fermentable sugars, predominantly cellulose and hemicellulose. A number of pretreatment options have been employed for material saccharification toward successful fermentation into second-generation bioethanol.

The inability to utilize pentose poses as a significant limitation to the production of cellulosic ethanol. To attain efficient raw material conversion and mitigate carbon dioxide emissions during cellulosic ethanol synthesis, a integrated approach focused on the co-processing of ethanol and succinic acid (SA) from peanut shells was proposed. The results demonstrated that the GVL system, containing 30 % water and catalyzed by dilute sulfuric acid, exhibited remarkable efficiency in pretreatment, boosting glucose yield sixfold relative to the untreated raw material.

Article Synopsis
- Life cycle assessment (LCA) is crucial for developing sustainable technologies, particularly in evaluating bioplastics made from orchard waste.
- Bioplastics like L-polylactic acid (PLA) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) are promising substitutes for traditional plastics due to their biodegradability and non-toxicity.
- LCAs revealed that the most environmentally impactful stages for both PLA and PHB production are the initial processes of biomass processing and pretreatment, which are energy-intensive and contribute significantly to CO emissions.
