Chapter 7.3, Problem 2TC
Summary Introduction
To describe: The advantages of producing ethanol from cellulose other than those crops rich in sugar like corn.
Introduction: Fossil fuels are non-renewable and have adverse effects on the environment. Biofuels like ethanol serves as an alternate for fossil fuels. It is obtained from plants with high sugar contents such as corn and sugar cane by fermentation process. Fermentation is defined as the breakdown of complex sugar molecules into simpler substances by microorganisms like bacteria and yeast under anaerobic conditions.

- From which part of the plant is turmeric obtained?arrow_forwardSwitchgrass is used for ethanol production. The composition of the switchgrass is 37% cellulose, 24% xylan, 3% galactan, 4% arabinan, 20% lignin, 7% extractives, and 5% ash. A dilute acid pretreatment method is applied to the switchgrass before enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. The pretreatment hydrolyzes 10% hexosan and 90% pentosan into monomeric sugars. Approximately 30% of the hydrolyzed pentoses further react & are decomposed to furfural. Assume that there is no decomposition of the hydrolyzed hexoses. Further Assume that lignin, extractives, and ash do not change during the pretreatment. • How much of each lignocellulosic sugar (glucose, xylose, galactose, and arabinose) is produced when pretreating 1,000 kg (dry matter) switchgrass? How much furfural is formed? • Is water consumed or produced in these pretreatment hydrolysis and dehydration reactions? How much in each?arrow_forwardWhat is an apoenzyme?
