Bioethanol from Brewers’ Spent Grain: Pentose Fermentation

This work aims to perform a preliminary optimization of the fermentation of brewers’ spent grain (BSG) sugars to bioethanol, focusing on the pentose sugars. Firstly, it was conducted the acid pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis for studying different reaction times and amounts of enzymes in order...
