Small-scale OrganoCat processing to screen rapeseed straw for efficient lignocellulose fractionation

Agricultural residues such as rapeseed straw can be a valuable source of cellulose, sugars, and aromatic molecules like lignin. Understanding its composition is crucial in order to develop suitable processing technology for the production biofuel or biochemicals from straw. Here, we developed small-scale OrganoCat system screen multiple technical conditions different samples at higher throughput utilize this analyze set 14 genetically Brassica lines on their processability. Correlation analysis was performed investigate effects cell wall polymer features biomass disintegration. At comparably mild reaction conditions, differences recalcitrance towards fractionation within were especially associated with parameters pectic polysaccharide content, acetylation, hemicellulose composition. These findings subsequently used optimize scale up pretreatment lignocellulose derived
