Hemicelluloses of Sugar Cane Bagasse Fibre

Use of Slag/Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) Blends in the Production of Alkali-Activated Materials

Blast furnace slag (BFS)/sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA) blends were assessed for the production of alkali-activated pastes and mortars. SCBA was collected from a lagoon in which wastes from a sugar cane industry were poured. After previous dry and grinding processes, SCBA was chemically characterized: it had a large percentage of organic matter (ca. 25%). Solutions of sodium hydroxide and sodium...

The Penicillium echinulatum Secretome on Sugar Cane Bagasse

Plant feedstocks are at the leading front of the biofuel industry based on the potential to promote economical, social and environmental development worldwide through sustainable scenarios related to energy production. Penicillium echinulatum is a promising strain for the bioethanol industry based on its capacity to produce large amounts of cellulases at low cost. The secretome profile of P. ec...

Sugar cane bagasse as feedstock for second generation ethanol production. Part II: Hemicellulose hydrolysate fermentability

Sugar cane bagasse is produced in Brazil as waste of the sugar and ethanol industries. This lignocellulosic material is a potential source for second-generation ethanol production; however a pretreatment stage is essential, which aims at removing the hemicellulose component by disorganizing the lignocellulosic complex. In this work sugar cane bagasse was pretreated by diluted acid hydrolysis re...

Arabinosylxylotriose mixedly esterified with acetic and ferulic acids from sugar cane bagasse.

The phenolic acids found in graminaceous plant cellwalls are esters with sugars and lignin.1 ~3) Previously, we separated two feruloylated oligosaccharides from an enzymatic hydrolysate of the bagasse lignin-carbohydrate complex.4'5* As an extension of the structural elucidation of phenolic-acid-containing oligosaccharides, we now describe the isolation and identification of a new tetrasacchari...
