However, conventional methods are often limited by high energy demands and low sugar yields. This study explores the catalytic role of ferric chloride (FeCl₃) as a less corrosive, high-catalytic activity, and cost-effective alternative to inorganic acids in the HTP of coconut husk (CCH), with the goal of improving hemicellulose hydrolysis and subsequent enzymatic conversion. The pretreatment was carried out at 120–180 °C with FeCl₃ concentrations ranging from 20 to 100 mM. A mathematically derived Combined Hydrolysis Factor (CHF) was applied to unify pretreatment conditions and correlate them with xylan hydrolysis, hemicellulosic sugar yield, compositional changes in CCH, and improvements in enzymatic digestibility. The results showed that FeCl₃-HTP enabled substantial to near-complete hemicellulose removal, exhibited a strong correlation between xylan removal and xylose release, and significantly enhanced enzymatic digestibility, as confirmed by XRD, SEM, and FTIR analyses. Mass balance analysis identified the optimal condition at 150 °C and 60 mM FeCl₃, yielding 22.04 g of total sugar per 100 g of raw CCH, 5.34 times higher than the yield from non-catalyzed pretreatment at the same temperature. These findings confirm the effectiveness of FeCl₃ as catalytic agent and establish CHF as a reliable predictive parameter for optimizing sugar recovery in scalable biomass conversion processes, highlighting its potential applicability to other lignocellulosic biomass as transferrable parameter under similar catalytic system, such as oil palm empty fruit bunches, for high-value bioproduct production.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8947,"journal":{"name":"Bioresource Technology Reports","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 102282"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145004107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The biosensor was investigated in both suspended and immobilized configurations using chronoamperometric techniques. Optimization studies revealed maximum current response at 0.3 mL algal suspension and 25 μL immobilized cell volume, both at pH 7. The suspended biosensor exhibited opposite current trends for the two pesticides: a decrease in current for acephate and an increase for triazophos, both over a linear range of 10⁻⁸ to 10⁻² M. After immobilization via glutaraldehyde cross-linking on glassy carbon electrodes, both analytes showed consistent decreases in current, with linear detection ranges of 10⁻⁷ to 10⁻² M for acephate and 10⁻⁹ to 10⁻² M for triazophos. These differences underscore the impact of immobilization on analyte-specific response patterns.

Methane fermentation residues, a byproduct of biogas production from food waste, are typically used as liquid fertilizer.

Four sucrose-fermenting yeast strains were evaluated for ethanol production in a non-sterile medium composed of residue and deteriorated beverage (1:1, <em>v</em>/<em>v</em>). Ethanol was detected only under the non-sterile condition, not in filter-sterilized controls, suggesting that native microbial populations did not inhibit—and may have enhanced—fermentation. <em>Saccharomyces pastorianus</em> NBRC 11024^T achieved the highest ethanol yield (27.4 g/L), reaching 89.4 % of the theoretical maximum within 48 h.

These findings suggest that methane fermentation residues can be used as functional co-substrates for ethanol production and may actively contribute to favorable fermentation conditions.
