Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of acid pretreated Shorea robusta for bioethanol production

Ethanol is a renewable biofuel produced through fermentation of sugars, starch and lignocellulosic biomass. Lignocellulosic feedstocks are cheap, abundant, renewable source of energy. In this work, Shorea robusta has been utilized for the bioethanol production by the process of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). Phanerocheate chrysosporium was used for saccharification process and fermentative ethanol production was done by Klebsiella pneumoniae UT3. To evaluate the role of fermentation parameters (temperature and pH) on ethanol production was optimized. A high amount of ethanol was obtained at optimized conditions of temperature and pH i.e. 10% (v/v) and 9.5% (v/v) respectively. Ankita Choudhary | S. K. Jadhav | K. L.
