Effect of acidic (1% H2SO4) and acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) pretreatment on chemical components and saccharification of sugarcane bagasse.
| Pretreatment | Biochemical Components (%) | On Enzymatic Hydrolysis | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cellulose | Hemicellulose | Lignin | Enzymatic Hydrolysis Yield (%) | Total Reducing Sugar | |
| No pretreatment | 38.80 ± 0.85 | 28.82 ± 0.68 | 24.70 ± 0.68 | 7.44 ± 0.32 | 50.0 ± 1.38 |
| Acid (1% H2SO4) | 58.91 ± 1.28 | 17.22 ± 0.42 | 9.82 ± 0.32 | 74.90 ± 1.65 | 569.0 ± 5.65 |
| ASC | 50.50 ± 0.88 | 17.54 ± 0.41 | 16.02 ± 0.44 | 62.10 ± 1.58 | 422.2 ± 4.98 |
Values are the mean of three experiments ± SEM. One-way ANOVA determined statistics with Tukey–Kramer multiple comparisons test.
