Microwave Pre-Treatment of Corn Straw and its Enzymatic Hydrolysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

To enhance enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of the corn straw, a process microwave pretreatment of corn straw was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Estimated optimum parameters were as follows: water to corn straw ratio is 58:1, microwave power is 640w and processing time is 5 minutes. Under these conditions, a maximum enzyme hydrolysis ratio of corn straw (49.25%) after microwave pretreatment was reached.
