Concerns about dwindling fossil fuels and their unfavorable environmental impacts shifted
the global focus towards the development of biofuels from lignocellulosic feedstocks. The …

Ferulic acid and its hydroxycinnamate derivatives represent one of the most abundant forms
of low molecular weight phenolic compounds in plant biomass. Feruloyl esterases are part …

Microbial cellulases have become the mainstream biocatalysts due to their complex nature
and widespread industrial applications. The present study reports the partial purification and …

Biological pretreatment using microorganisms or enzymes offers an eco-friendly process for
biomass processing. Herein, the efficiency of pretreatment of rice straw with the cellulase …

Cellulolytic enzymes play a key role on conversion of lignocellulosic plant biomass to
biofuels and biochemicals in sugar platform biorefineries. In this review, we survey …

Solid state enzymatic hydrolysis (SSEH) has many advantages, such as higher sugar
concentration, lower operating costs, and less energy input. It should be a potential …

Synergistic combination of cellulase and xylanase has been performed on pre-treated
substrates in many previous studies, while few on natural substrates. In this study, three …

To investigate the effect of dilute alkaline pretreatment on different parts of biomass, corn
stalk was separated into flower, leaf, cob, husk and stem, which were treated by NaOH in …

Background Most β-glucosidases reported are sensitive to the end product (glucose),
making it the rate limiting component of cellulase for efficient degradation of cellulose …

Lignin is one of the main obstacles for enzymatic hydrolysis, which can be selectively
removed by hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid pretreatment (HPAC). In this work, the effects of …
