Kappaphycus alvarezii is a red macroalgae widely used to produce carrageenan. The carrageenan processing produces a by-product rich in glucan which has been reported as easily hydrolyzed with enzymes, but the hydrolysate ...

In the present study, sugarcane bagasse (SB) was subjected to different pretreatments. The pretreated SB was characterized chemically and structurally and was enzymatically hydrolyzed using a commercial enzyme preparation. ...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of different pretreatments applied to industrial slash pine sawdust (Pinus elliottii) on its enzymatic hydrolysis. NREL laboratory analytical procedures for standard biomass ...

Eucalyptus wood is the primary source of fibers to produce paper and cellulose in South American countries. The major by-product generated in the cellulose industry is sawdust derived from chip wood production, which is ...

We investigated the effects of treatments with the enzymes pepsin and trypsin on the in vitro immunological reactivity of the major globulins found in the seeds of sweet lupin, chickpea, and lentil. Polyclonal major ...

Natural fibers are very abundant, especially those derived from water plant as water hyacinth. The water hyacinth, which is rich in cellulosic fiber content, has a great ability to adapt itself to harsh conditions and at ...

Modifications in sugarcane bagasse (SCB) from ozonolysis (O) NaOH (B) and ultrasound (U) (OBU) treatment for cellulosic ethanol production by enzymatic hydrolysis, were evaluated when increasing the exposure time of SCB ...

This paper refers to the new proposal of pre-treatment of sugarcane bagasse with microwave associated to glycerol, seeking greater release of fermentable sugars during enzymatic hydrolysis. The residue was subjected to ...

Currently, there is worldwide interest in the technological use of agro-industrial residues as a renewable source of food and biofuels. Lignocellulosic materials (LCMs) are a rich source of cellulose and hemicellulose. ...
