Sugarcane bagasse is a promising raw material for the production of second-generation ethanol, but its use presents challenges, from the high costs of pre-treatment and hydrolysis, associated with cell wall recalcitrance, which limits the saccharification yield. Although pectins have been largely neglected as important components of the cell wall, due to their low content (~8%) in sugarca…
The hybrids of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) Currently grown are highly efficient at converting solar energy into assimilates, accumulating up to 18% sucrose in culms. The culture is primarily used for producing sugar and ethanol, generating as a waste bagasse, this biomass consists of cellulose (39%), hemicellulose (25%) and lignin (23%), has been used for the generation of ethanol second g…
The increase in world consumption of finite fossil fuel resources and the negative climate consequences of their use are currently driving the search for alternative energy sources such as biomass, which is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The biomass can be used as a feedstock for renewable energy production and it can be transformed into biofuels through a process…
