Abstract: | Background Thermostable enzymes have several benefits in lignocellulose processing. In particular, they potentially allow the use of
increased substrate concentrations (because the substrate viscosity decreases as the temperature increases), resulting in
improved product yields and reduced capital and processing costs. A short pre-hydrolysis step at an elevated temperature using
thermostable enzymes aimed at rapid liquefaction of the feedstock is seen as an attractive way to overcome the technical problems
(such as poor mixing and mass transfer properties) connected with high initial solid loadings in the lignocellulose to ethanol
process. |
