To obtain fermentable sugar for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels, the hydrolysis of cellulose is the essential step. Approximately less than 20% of theoretical maximum glucose yield is achieved if proper pretreatment is not accompanied prior to the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose. Currently, pretreatment technologies primarily rely on acid hydrolysis or alkali processes that are operated at extreme conditions. Therefore, the generation of undesirable byproducts that are inhibitory to the enzymatic saccharification or microbial fermentation processes are not avoidable. In this study, some newer concepts of biological processes for lignocellulose deconstruction for efficient saccharification of lignocelluloses are introduced and discussed. |
