Cellulases, hemicellulases and ligninolytic enzymes: mechanism of action, optimal processing conditions and obtaining value-added compounds in plant matrices

This review article has focused on the enzymatic hydrolysis (HE) of plant matrices (MV), mechanisms action cellulases, hemicellulases and ligninases; optimal process conditions most used to obtain products interest; as well some factors that reduce catalytic activity. Based mechanism, a compendium applications different substrates is elaborated, with idea reorienting current application MV (biofuels) providing an alternative for its use obtaining compounds added value. For example, extraction phenolic antioxidant capacity, xylooligosaccharides aromatic from cellulose, hemicellulose lignin, respectively.
