Abstract
Deep eutectic solvent including Choline chloride (ChCl)/Ethylene glycol (EG) and betaine HCL (BH)/EG and the temperature range of 80–100 °C for 1–7h was deemed suitable for enhancing the enzymatic saccharification efficiency of corn stalk and corn cob. The effectiveness of the pretreatment was established by the extent of lignin removal and the sugar yield of enzymatic hydrolysis. The results showed that both ChCl/EG and BH/EG pretreatments could boost the sugar yields from the two biomass, the sugar yields were reached 60.06 %, 58.33 %, 76.8 % and 67.03 %, respectively, under the best conditions. The saccharification yield from enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stalk and corn cob, subjected to ChCl/EG and BH/EG pretreatments, escalated by 42.36 %、40.63 % and 59.1 %、49.33 %, respectively, in comparison to the control samples. Post-pretreatment, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses revealed no significant alterations in the crystalline lattice structure of the corn stalk and corn cob samples. In contrast, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) visualisations depicted a pronounced modification in the micro- and nano-architecture of the lignocellulosic biomass.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects.
Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence.
Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
