Lignocellulosic waste is a promising source of polysaccharides that can be converted into a variety of compounds, ranging from biofuels to bioplastics. Most of these residues can replace products originating from petroleum, representing an important environmental advantage. Lignocellulosic materials are theoretically unlimited, cheaper and do not compete with food crops. However, the main…
The brazilian sugarcane agroindustry was one of the most developed sectors in the last 4 years. Among the main productor countries, Brazil stands on the leading featuring an area greater than 9 million hectare used by sugar-alcohol sector and responding for a year production of 632 million tons. From all reductor sugar recoverable from biomass, 55.9% is destined to ethanol production and …
In Brazil, the ethanol production from sugarcane is more than 25 billion liters per year, which represents approximately 33% of all world production, highlighting it in an important role in future demand for this fuel. To maintain in this position investments are required for generation of new technologies in the conversion of sugarcane for ethanol. Currently, ethanol production occurs fr…
Concern the environmental impacts has stimulated many efforts to replace fossil fuels with biofuels, from biomass, such as 2G ethanol. In this scenario, the availability of biomass as sugarcane bagasse strengthens Bioeconomy in Brazil, but much effort is still needed to fully utilize lignocellulosic materials for bioproducts and biofuels production. The search for new enzymes or the impro…
The environmental impacts resulting from the release of greenhouse gases have stimulated many efforts to replacing fossil fuels with biofuels. In this sense, renewable lignocellulosic biomasses are an excellent alternative, since they consist of cellulose and hemicellulose, which after hydrolysis by CAZymes (Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes) can be converted into fermentable sugars, which is o…
Efficient conversion of sugars present in lignocellulosic materials is crucial for processes to produce second-generation ethanol. However, the microorganism most suitable conditions for industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae has deficiency in metabolizing pentoses such as xylose which consists of a majority of sugars from lignocellulosic materials. Faced with this metabolic failure has beco…
