Investigation of Acid and Enzyme Wheat Straw Hydrolysis for Obtaining Polysaccharides

Abstract

The processes of acid and enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat straw in the presence of the strain Aspergillus awamori F-RKM 0719 has been studied. Enzymatic hydrolysis is the most promising method of processing plant biomass. When carrying out the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulosic materials, the yield of sugars reaches less than 20% of the theoretically possible yield. Overcoming the physico-chemical barriers that hamper the availability of cellulose for enzymes is an important issue, the solution of which is directly related to the search for low-cost pre-treatment methods for raw materials. The effectiveness of this process determines the yield of the target product in the process of enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose and the economic feasibility of the entire technology as a whole.
