Main hydrolytic components of lignocellulose biomasses and generated inhibitory compounds. Biomasses are generated from wastes such as (A) maize cobs (B) saw dust (C) sugar cane bagasse (D) fast growing grasses. Pre-treatment processes releases the sugars (C6/C5) and lignin, however these processes also cause the breakdown of lignin and dehydration of the sugars, producing the inhibitory compounds that greatly reduces the overall efficiencies of the ethanologenic cells in the lignocellulose hydrolysate.
