Overview

Analysis shows hydrolysis increased cellulose and hemicellulose yields in sugarcane bagasse, indicating potential bioethanol applications.

Key Points

  • Weight loss of 46.22% was achieved with 0.5% sodium hydroxide at 100ºC for 5 hours, maximizing glucose extraction.
  • The hydrolysate obtained contained 69.18% lignin, and sugars like glucose (1.24%) and xylose (12.70%).
  • Characterization by FT-IR demonstrated significant degradation of lignin and cellulose in the sugarcane bagasse samples.
  • These findings highlight the potential for converting bagasse into bioethanol and bioplastic, enhancing biomass valorization.
