Grape stalk valorization for fermentation purposes
Atatoprak, Tuğba; Amorim, Maria Manuela; Ribeiro, Tânia; Pintado, Manuela; Madureira, Ana RaquelWhite and red grape stalks biomass were fractioned to maximize its economic value by the production of fermentable sugars, as other value streams. High yields of extractives and lignin were first obtained, originating a biomass rich in cellulose and hemicellulose, which was subject to acid and enzymatic hydrolysis for production of fermentable sugars. Higher concentrations of sugars were obtained by enzymatic t...
