Lignocellulosic biomass is an abundant and renewable resource that potentially contains
large amounts of energy. It is an interesting alternative for fossil fuels, allowing the …

A pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass to produce biofuels, polymers, and other
chemicals plays a vital role in the biochemical conversion process toward disrupting the …

The formation of lignin-like structures by the degradation primarily of plant polysaccharides
has been observed after the severe thermochemical acidic pretreatment of lignocellulosic …

Bioconversion of renewable lignocellulosic biomass to biofuel and value added products
are globally gaining significant prominence. Market forces demonstrate a drive towards …

Cellulose, in addition to hemicellulose and lignin, makes the major fraction of lignocellulosic
biomass–the only sustainable feedstock to meet the long-term sustainable energy need of …

Lignocellulosic biomass is recalcitrant to biodegradation due to the rigid and compact
structure of plant cell wall. The recalcitrance of biomass is mainly constructed by its chemical …

Overcoming the recalcitrance (resistance of plant cell walls to deconstruction) of
lignocellulosic biomass is a key step in the production of fuels and chemicals. The …

To improve world energy security, lignocellulosic substrates are being used to generate
inexpensive renewable biofuel. Pretreatment of these biomasses is pre‐requisite to obtain …

The adverse environmental impacts of the fossil fuel and the concerns of energy security
necessitate the development of alternative clean energy sources from renewable …

Background The conversion of plant biomass to ethanol via enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis
offers a potentially sustainable route to biofuel production. However, the inhibition of …
