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.

Banana Crops

Banana is a major fruit crop throughout the world with abundant lignocellulose in the pseudostem and rachis residues for biofuel production. In this study, we collected a total of 11 pseudostems and rachis samples that were originally derived from different genetic types and ecological locations of banana crops and then examined largely varied edible carbohydrates (soluble sugars, starch) and lignocellulose compositions. By performing chemical (H2SO4, NaOH) and liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatments, we also found a remarkable variation in biomass enzymatic saccharification and bioethanol production among all banana samples examined. Consequently, this study identified a desirable banana (Refen1, subgroup Pisang Awak) crop containing large amounts of edible carbohydrates and completely digestible lignocellulose, which could be combined to achieve the highest bioethanol yields of 31–38% (% dry matter), compared with previously reported ones in other bioenergy crops. Chemical analysis further indicated that the cellulose CrI and lignin G-monomer should be two major recalcitrant factors affecting biomass enzymatic saccharification in banana pseudostems and rachis. Therefore, this study not only examined rich edible carbohydrates for food in the banana pseudostems but also detected digestible lignocellulose for bioethanol production in rachis tissue, providing a strategy applicable for genetic breeding and biomass processing in banana crops.

Changes in poplar (Populus trichocarpa) wood porous structure after liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of applying different hydrothermal pretreatment conditions on the porous structure of poplar wood. Porosity is recognised as an important factor considering efficiency of an enzymatic hydrolysis as a step of bioethanol production. Native poplar wood as well as solid fractions after pretreatment performed at different temperatures (160 °C, 175 °C and 190 °C) were analysed. Porous structure was examined with an inverse size-exclusion chromatography (ISEC) method. Results indicated a significant development of the porous structure of the biomass with increasing porosity along with the growing temperature of the LHW process. The temperature of 190 °C was chosen as the most promising condition of poplar wood LHW pretreatment in terms of the efficiency of the subsequent steps of bioethanol production. The obtained results were consistent with the previous experimental data procured during analysis of the LHW pretreated poplar wood and its subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis yield.
