Hydrothermal alkaline sulfite pretreatment in the delivery of fermentable sugars from sugarcane bagasse

ABSTRACT: This work aims to demonstrate the importance of hydrothermal alkaline sulfite pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse in the delivery of fermentable sugars. The pretreatment conditions, namely sodium sulfite loads (5.0-10.0 wt%), temperatures (140-160 degrees C) and reaction times (30-60 min), w...
