Anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic fractions of biogenic resources in biogas plants
performs slowly and incompletely leaving fibrous residues. Thus, this work focused on a …

The hydrolytic effect of a commercial enzymes mixture, containing mainly cellulose-
degrading and hemicellulose-degrading enzymes, was studied during the mesophilic …

Mechanical pretreatment is considered to be a fast and easily applicable method to prepare
the biomass for anaerobic digestion. In the present study, the effect of mechanical …

An enzyme preparation containing mainly pectinolytic activity was used to increase the
hydrolysis of agricultural feedstock for production of biogas at lab and industrial-scale …

The hydrolysis of lignocellulose is assumed to be the rate-limiting step in the anaerobic
fermentation process. A fungal hydrolytic enzyme mixture was used to assess the enzymatic …

Recent shifts in European countries biogas policies tend to limit the use of energy crops and
encourage the use of manure, lignocellulosic feedstocks and bio-waste. The need to use …

The anaerobic digestion (AD) of the organic fractions of solid wastes has been recognized
as an economical and highly renewable resource for biogas production. The challenges lie …

Germany developed an energy policy aiming at reducing its dependency on conventional
energy sources, which allowed the country to emerge as the leading producer of biogas …

Anaerobic digestion is an environmentally friendly technology for the stabilization and
recovery of biodegradable organic waste, both agroindustrial and urban. Hydrolysis is the …

This study combines a review of existing work on enzyme application to feedstock for
anaerobic digestion with the authors' own investigations. Hydrolytic enzymes can be added …
