Overview

Microwave-assisted pretreatment enhances sugar yield in macadamia shells and pinewood, suggesting efficient bioethanol production.

Key Points

  • Bioethanol production increased significantly through optimized microwave-assisted pretreatment of biomass.
  • Achieved over 70% cellulose recovery with higher delignification in pinewood than macadamia nut shells.
  • Pretreatment optimization used central composite design and response surface methodology for enhancing sugar yields.
  • The study highlights the role of microwave power in biomass fractionation and bioethanol efficiency.
