Enzymatic conversion of lignocellulose into fermentable sugars: challenges and
Jan Bach Kristensen,Claus Felby +1 more
TL;DR: A number of pretreatment technologies are under development and being tested in pilot scale for lignocellulose, which is the largest known renewable carbohydrate source as mentioned in this paper, but these are not readily accessible to enzymatic hydrolysis and require a pretreatment, which causes an extensive modifi cation of the lignosic structure.

Enzymatic conversion of lignocellulose into fermentable sugars: challenges and opportunities.
TL;DR: A number of pretreatment technologies are under development and being tested in pilot scale for lignocellulose, which is the largest known renewable carbohydrate source as discussed by the authors, but these are not readily accessible to enzymatic hydrolysis and require a pretreatment, which causes an extensive modification of the lignosic structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Yield-determining factors in high-solids enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose
TL;DR: Inhibition of enzyme adsorption by hydrolysis products appear to be the main cause of the decreasing yields at increasing substrate concentrations in the enzymatic decomposition of cellulosic biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell-wall structural changes in wheat straw pretreated for bioethanol production.
TL;DR: Results indicate that hydrothermal pretreatment increases the digestibility by increasing the accessibility of the cellulose through a re-localisation of lignin and a partial removal of hemicellulose, rather than by disruption of the cell wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of surface active additives in enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat straw lignocellulose
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(propylene glycol)-based surfactants are able to increase cellulose conversion with up to 70% in wheat straw.
