Potential of Brachiaria mutica (Para grass) for bioethanol production from Loktak Lake
D Sahoo, SB Ummalyma, AK Okram… - Bioresource …, 2017 - Elsevier
The aim of present study was to evaluate feasibility of using the Para grass as feedstock for
production of bioethanol. Process involved the pretreatment with dilute acid or alkali and
followed by enzymatic saccharification with commercial cellulase. Maximum sugar release
of 696 mg/g was obtained from 10% biomass loading and 0.5% w/v of alkali whereas in the
case of acid pretreatment maximum sugar of 660 mg/g was obtained from 20% biomass
loading and 2% w/v acid loading. Results showed that Para grass utilization as a biorefinery …
