Batch sugar production from sweet sorghum bagasse using Trichoderma reesei

Abstract Sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) is the dregs of sweet plant. SSB potential lignocellulosic biomass for bioethanol production. cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin content 30-40%, 20-30%, 25-30%, respectively. Previously has been used as animal feed not utilized optimally. a high cellulose. Cellulose can be hydrolyzed by cellulase to produce sugar. The amount sugar from cellulose hydrolysis will affect Cultivation was carried out using batch system 84 hours. objectives this study were analyze characteristic bagasse, find pattern Trichoderma reesei growth, determine highest production during cultivation. method cultivation microbial growth curve higher time bioreactor. parameters process identify required producing 48.65 ± 0.02% 17.63±0.02% 7.47±0.01% lignin. substrate concentration found at 36 th hours, which 10.90 g L −1 .
