Inhibition of enzyme hydrolysis of cellulose by phenols from hydrothermally pretreated sugarcane straw

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Relatively few studies have addressed the characterization of sugarcane straw (SCS) for production fermentable sugars through enzyme hydrolysis. Straw is a major co-product of the sugarcane harvest in Brazil that has potential to sustainably increase cellulosic feedstocks in Brazil by 50%. Pretreatment of 10% w/v straw with liquid hot water (LHW) at 180°C for 50min (severity, So, of 4.05), solubilizes hemicellulose, preserves glucan, and generates 4.49g/L soluble phenolic compounds in the resulting liquid. Extracts from washing pretreated solids with hot excess water followed by acetone resulted in 1.10 and 0.83g/L phenolics, respectively. Acetone-derived extracts were more inhibitory and decreased glucose yield for enzyme hydrolysis of Solka Floc (a lignin-free cellulose) by 42%. In comparison, pretreated straw washed with hot water or acetone was readily hydrolyzed to 92% and 97% by cellulase enzyme. Hydrothermally treated SCS has the potential to provide a valuable and added source of fermentable sugars suitable for bioprocessing into biofuels and bioproducts when cellulase enzyme inhibitors are removed after pretreatment.
