Summary
Enzymatic hydrolysates of hemicellulose from steam-pretreated aspenwood were more fermentable than the acid hydrolysate after rotoevaporation or ethyl acetate extraction treatments to remove acetic acid and sugar- and lignin-degradation products prior to fermentation by Pichia stipitis CBS 5776. Total xylose and xylobiose utilization from 5.0% (w/v) ethyl acetate extracted enzymatic hydrolysate was observed with an ethanol yield of 0.47 g ethanol/g total available substrate and an ethanol production rate of 0.20 g·l-1 per hour in 72 h batch fermentation.
