Abstract
AbstractAutohydrolysis was studied as a pretreatment to enhance sugar yields from enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat and rape straw, beech, birch and poplar sawdust. Reaction temperatures were 185°C to 212°C and the reaction time 20 min. The pretreated slurries were hydrolyzed with “Novo” cellulase and Fusarium sp. 27 cellulase at 45°C and pH 4.8 for 24 h with addition of Fusarium sp. 27 cellbound cellobiase. From 85% to 90% sugar content of substrates were converted to reducing sugars after 24 h enzymatic hydrolysis, with exception of poplar wood.10.8 g biomass was obtained after cultivation of Fusarium sp. 27 with water solution hemicellulose fraction from 100 g beech sawdust autohydrolyzed at 200°C during 20 min.
