Chemical profiles of switchgrass.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chemical analysis studies were conducted for four populations of switchgrass (Alamo, Kanlow, GA993, and GA992), Panicum virgatum L., which were partitioned into leaves, internodes, and nodes. The variations in carbohydrate compositions, lignin and extractives content, higher heating value (HHV), and the syringyl:guaiacyl ratio of switchgrass were determined. The experimental results indicated that bulk chemical profiles for the four populations of switchgrass were comparable. However, the results from three morphological components of switchgrass, leaves, internodes and nodes, provided a significant diversity among the analytical results studied.

Utilization of Switchgrass As A Biofuel Feedstock
In the first part of the thesis, chemical analyses were conducted for four populations of switchgrass, SW1-SW8. Each population consisted of 69% leaves, 27% internodes, and 4% nodes. The variations in carbohydrates, lignin, extractives content, Higher Heating Value (HHV), and syringyl:guaiacyl (S:G) ratio were determined among the populations and the morphological portions. The experimental res...
متن کاملInhibition of microbial biofuel production in drought-stressed switchgrass hydrolysate
BACKGROUND Interannual variability in precipitation, particularly drought, can affect lignocellulosic crop biomass yields and composition, and is expected to increase biofuel yield variability. However, the effect of precipitation on downstream fermentation processes has never been directly characterized. In order to investigate the impact of interannual climate variability on biofuel productio...
متن کاملTranscriptional and physiological data reveal the dehydration memory behavior in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
Background Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a model biofuel plant because of its high biomass, cellulose-richness, easy degradation to ethanol, and the availability of extensive genomic information. However, a little is currently known about the molecular responses of switchgrass plants to dehydration stress, especially multiple dehydration stresses. Results Studies on the transcriptional...
متن کاملA Switchgrass-based Bioethanol Supply Chain Network Design Model under Auto-Regressive Moving Average Demand
Switchgrass is known as one of the best second-generation lignocellulosic biomasses for bioethanol production. Designing efficient switchgrass-based bioethanol supply chain (SBSC) is an essential requirement for commercializing the bioethanol production from switchgrass. This paper presents a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to design SBSC in which bioethanol demand is under auto-r...
