Efficient integrated production of bioethanol and antiviral glycerolysis lignin from sugarcane trash.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sugarcane trash (SCT) represents up to 18% of the aboveground biomass of sugarcane, surpassing 28 million tons globally per year. The majority of SCT is burning in the fields. Hence, efficient use of SCT is necessary to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and global warming and establish agro-industrial biorefineries. Apart from its low costs, conversion of whole biomass with high production efficiency and titer yield is mandatory for effective biorefinery systems. Therefore, in this study, we developed a simple, integrated method involving a single step of glycerolysis pretreatment to produce antiviral glycerolysis lignin (AGL). Subsequently, we co-fermented glycerol with hydrolyzed glucose and xylose to yield high titers of bioethanol.
