"Variations in structure and saccharification efficiency of biomass of different sorghum varieties subjected to aqueous ammonia and glycerol pretreatments"^^ . "Sorghum biomass is a potential feedstock for lignocellulosic bioethanol production. The selection of suitable\r\nsorghum variety is essential to obtain high ethanol yield. In this paper we screened sorghum varieties belonging\r\nto sweet sorghum, post rainy sorghum, and hybrid sorghum. These varieties were screened based on their\r\nagronomic traits, amenability to pretreatment methods, and enzymatic digestibility. The sorghum biomass was\r\npretreated using glycerol (60 %) at 190 ̊C for 60 min and aqueous ammonia (15 %) at 120 ̊C for 60 min. The\r\ndigestibility of the pretreated biomass was determined using commercial cellulase (Cellic CTec2) at 10U/g\r\nloading, and the structural changes in the pretreated biomass were analyzed by spectroscopy and scanning\r\nelectron microscopy. Sweet sorghum varieties showed significant variations in phenotypic traits such as fresh\r\nstalk yield, dry fodder yield, and juice yield. The cellulose digestibility among the sorghum varieties after the\r\npretreatment also differed significantly. The cellulose digestibility levels of glycerol range from 64 % to 89 % and\r\nammonia pretreated sorghum from 63 % to 81 %. The total sugar yields varied from 227 mg/g to 356 mg/g and\r\n209 mg/g to 313 mg/g for sorghum pretreated with ammonia and glycerol, respectively. Although the\r\ndelignification of sorghum varieties was higher (31%–65%) after ammonia pretreatment than glycerol pretreatment,\r\nthe cellulose digestibility was higher for the glycerol pretreated biomass. These results indicated that\r\neffect of delignification on cellulose digestibility is trivial. This study explores factors affecting pretreatment and\r\ncellulose digestibility of sorghum varieties for maximum sugar yield in the cellulosic ethanol process."^^ . "2020-11" . . . "159" . .
