Background: Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is an annual spring-emerging crop that is classified among the dicotyledons, due to the manner of its cultivation, use, and chemical composition of seeds. The use of buckwheat straw for energy purposes—for example, for the production of second generation bioethanol—might enable its wider application and increase the cost-effectiveness of tillage. Methods: In this study, we examined the usability of buckwheat straw for the production of bioethanol. We pretreated the raw material with ionic liquids and subsequently performed enzymatic hydrolysis and alcoholic fermentation. The obtained chemometric data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression model. PLS regression in combination with spectral analysis within the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum allowed for the rapid determination of the amount of cellulose in the raw material and also provided information on the changes taking place in its structure. Results: We obtained good results for the combination of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate as the ionic liquid and Cellic CTec2 as the enzymatic preparation for the pretreatment of buckwheat straw. The highest concentration of glucose following 72 h of enzymatic hydrolysis was found to be around 5.5 g/dm3. The highest concentration of ethanol (3.31 g/dm3) was obtained with the combination of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate for the pretreatment and cellulase from Trichoderma reesei for enzymatic hydrolysis. Conclusions: In summary, the efficiency of the fermentation process is strictly associated with the pool of available fermenting sugars, and it depends on the type of ionic liquid used during the pretreatment and on the enzymatic preparation. It is possible to obtain bioethanol from buckwheat straw using ionic liquid for pretreatment of the raw material prior to the enzymatic hydrolysis and alcoholic fermentation of the material.

Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is an annual spring-emerging crop that is classified among dicotyledons, yet due to the manner of its cultivation, use, and chemical composition of seeds. The use of buckwheat straw for energy purposes, for example, for the production of second generation bioethanol might enable its wider application and increase the cost-effectiveness of tillage. In this study, we examined the usability of buckwheat straw for the production of bioethanol. We pretreated the raw material with using ionic liquids and subsequently performed enzymatic hydrolysis and alcoholic fermentation. The obtained chemometric data was analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression model. PLS regression in combination with the spectral analysis within near-infrared (NIR) spectrum allowed for the rapid determination of amount of cellulose in the raw material and also provided information on the changes taking place in its structure. According to our results, we obtained good results for the combination of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate as the ionic liquid and Cellic CTec2 and the enzymatic preparation for the pretreatment of buckwheat straw. The highest concentration of glucose following 72 hours of enzymatic hydrolysis was found to be around 5.5 g/dm3.

Near-infrared (NIR) spectrometry was successfully used for the noninvasive and in situ determination of concentrations and structure of water absorbed by room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). It was found that RTILs based on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, namely, [BuMIm]+[BF4]−, [BuMIm]+[bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide, or Tf2N]− and [BuMIm]+[PF6]−, are hydroscopic and can quickly absorb water when they are exposed to air. Absorbed water interacts with the anions of the RTILs, and these interactions lead to changes in the structure of water. Among the RTILs studied, [BF4]− provides the strongest interactions and [PF6]− the weakest. In 24 hours, [BuMIm]+[BF4]− can absorb up to 0.320 M of water, whereas [BuMIm]+[PF6]− can only absorb 8.3 × 10−2 M of water. It seems that higher amounts of water can be absorbed when the anion of the RTIL can strongly interact and hence stabilize absorbed water molecules by forming hydrogen bonds with them or inducing hydrogen bonds among water molecules. More importantly, the NIR technique can be sensitively used for the noninvasive, in situ determination of absorbed water in RTILs, without any pretreatment, and at limits of detection as low as 3.20 × 10−3 M.
