All plants produce suberin, a lipophilic barrier of the cell wall that controls water and solute fluxes and restricts pathogen infection. It is often described as a heteropolymer comprised of polyaliphatic and polyaromatic domains. Major monomers include omega-hydroxy and alpha,omega-dicarboxylic fatty acids, glycerol, and ferulate. No genes have yet been identified for the aromatic suberin pat...

sugarcane bagasse contains cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose, 39-42%, 20-25% and 25-27% respectively. so it is can be used as a sugar source in many processes. lignin and hemicellulose must be removed before hydrolysis of cellulose. several different pretreatment approaches have been studied. the purpose of this research is comparison of acid, ozone and combination of ozone-acid as pretreatme...

Application of bio-fuel by-product sugarcane bagasse ash SBA as. Including sugarcane bagasse ash SBA13, recycled paper mill waste4.as bagassios. In this paper, Bagasse ash can be utilized by replacing it with fly ash and lime in fly ash bricks. Trial bricks of size 230x100x75 mm were tested.bagasse ash SCBA, several trials were conducted to define optimum burning time and temperatures. SCBA use...

The esterification of bagasse with glutaric anhydride could increase surface adhesion compatibility and the surface of derived polymers has the potential of immobilizing peptides or proteins for biomedical application. Due to its complicated components, the esterification mechanism of bagasse esterified with glutaric anhydride in ionic liquids has not been studied. In this paper, the homogenous...

BACKGROUND In the sugarcane industry, large amounts of lignocellulosic residues are generated, which includes bagasse, straw, and tops. The use of the whole sugarcane lignocellulosic biomass for the production of second-generation (2G) ethanol can be a potential alternative to contribute to the economic viability of this process. Here, we conducted a systematic comparative study of the use of t...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are promising solvents for the pretreatment of lignocellulose as they are thermally stable, environmentally friendly, recyclable, and have low volatility. This study evaluated the effect of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM][OAc]) for the pretreatment of energy cane bagasse in terms of biomass composition, structural changes and enzymatic digestibility. Energy cane ...

Approximately 2.4 million tons of bagasse are produced each year in Iran, most of which are currently treated as waste adding to serious environmental concerns. Application of bagasse for energy production is a sustainable solution to supply the required energy within the sugar refineries and export the surplus electricity to the grid. Currently, the energy demand in Iranian sugar mills is main...

In Brazil, due to its availability, sugar cane bagasse has a high potential for power generation. The knowledge of ignition behavior, as well as the knowledge of the chemical kinetics, in of fuels combustion process is important features in boilers projects and in the stability of the combustion process control. The aim of this study is to investigate the thermal behavior of sugar cane bagasse,...

During the lignification of grass cell walls, ferulate acts like a nucleation site that can cross couple with monolignols, i.e. coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol, to form dimeric products. Here we investigated in detail ferulate-sinapyl cross-coupling products an effort on better understanding nature scope lignin-ferulate interactions. In biomimetic oxidative system, (SA) reacted ethyl (FA)...

Modifying lignin composition and structure is a key strategy to increase plant cell wall digestibility for biofuel production. Disruption of the genes encoding both cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenases (CADs), including CADC and CADD, in Arabidopsis thaliana results in the atypical incorporation of hydroxycinnamaldehydes into lignin. Another strategy to change lignin composition is downregulation or...
