Inhibitory compounds formation after liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment of corn stover as an alternative to wood lignocellulosic feedstock for bioethanol production. Thus far, corn stover has been perceived as a promising lignocellulosic alternative to wood intended for bioethanol procurement, however it should be recognised also as a potential future component in a mixed biomass system. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of applying different hydrothermal treatment conditions on the potential inhibitory compounds formation from corn stover. An analysis of selected inhibitory compounds formed after pretreatment performed at different temperatures (160°C, 175°C, 190°C and 205°C) was carried out. Furfural, simple sugars and lignin were some of the inhibitors examined with HPLC and UV-VIS spectrophotometric methods. Furthermore, the chemical composition of organic extracts obtained from native and LHW pretreated biomass was analyzed qualitatively with GC-MS method and inhibitory compounds like vanillin, sitosterol or syringol were detected. As a result of those investigations compared to enzymatic hydrolysis yield the temperature of 175°C was chosen as the most promising condition of corn stover LHW pretreatment in terms of the efficiency of the subsequent phases of bioethanol production.

Soybean straw is a renewable resource in agricultural residues that can be used for lignocellulosic bioethanol production. To enhance enzymatic digestibility and fermentability, the biomass was prepared with an alkali-thermal pretreatment (sodium hydroxide, 121°C, 60 min). The delignification yield was 34.1~53%, in proportion to the amount of sodium hydroxide, from 0.5 to 3.0 M. The lignin and hemicellulose contents of the pretreated biomass were reduced by the pretreatment process, whereas the proportion of cellulose was increased. Under optimal condition, the pretreated biomass consisted of 74.0±0.1% cellulose, 10.3±0.1% hemicellulose, and 10.1±0.6% lignin. During enzymatic saccharification using Cellic® CTec2 cellulase, 10% (w/v) of pretreated soybean straw was hydrolyzed completely and converted to 67.3±2.1 g/L glucose and 9.4±0.5 g/L xylose with a 90.9% yield efficiency. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of the pretreated biomass by Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1A produced 30.5±1.2 g/L ethanol in 0.5 L fermented medium containing 10% (w/v) pretreated biomass after 72 h. The ethanol productivity was 0.305 g ethanol/g dry biomass and 0.45 g ethanol/g glucose after fermentation, with a low concentration of organic acid metabolites. Also, 82% of fermentable sugar was used by the yeast for ethanol fermentation. These results show that the combination of alkaline pretreatment and biomass hydrolysate is useful for enhancing bioethanol productivity using delignified soybean straw.
