Journal ArticleDOI
Conversion of olive tree biomass into fermentable sugars by dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification
TL;DR: Dilute acid pretreatment improves results compared to water pretreatment, and to take account of fermentable sugars generated by pretreatment and the glucose released by enzymatic hydrolysis, an overall sugar yield was calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimizing Liquid Hot Water pretreatment conditions to enhance sugar recovery from wheat straw for fuel-ethanol production
José Angel Alvarez Perez,Ignacio Ballesteros,Mercedes Ballesteros,Felicia Sáez,M.J. Negro,Paloma Manzanares +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimization of process variables (temperature and residence time) in Liquid Hot Water (LHW) pretreatment of wheat straw for ethanol production was addressed by means of design of experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of lignocellulosic degradation compounds from steam explosion pretreatment on ethanol fermentation by thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus.
José Miguel Oliva,Felicia Sáez,Ignacio Ballesteros,Alberto González,María José Negro,Paloma Manzanares,Mercedes Ballesteros +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of selected compounds on growth and ethanolic fermentation of the thermotolerant yeast strain Kluyveromyces marxianus CECT 10875 was tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection of thermotolerant yeasts for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of cellulose to ethanol
Ignacio Ballesteros,Mercedes Ballesteros,Araceli Cabañas,J.E. Carrasco,Carlos Martin,M.J. Negro,Felicia Sáez,R. Saez +7 more
TL;DR: Yeast strains belonging to the groups Candida, Saccharomyces, andKluyveromyces were screened for their ability to grow and ferment glucose at temperatures ranging 32-45°C and were found to be the best ethanol producing organisms at the higher temperature tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment of cardoon for ethanol production.
Ignacio Ballesteros,Mercedes Ballesteros,Paloma Manzanares,M. José Negro,J. Miguel Oliva,Felicia Sáez +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of acid loading, temperature, acid addition and solid/liquid ratio on overall sugar yields was studied using a response surface method according to a Box-Behnken experimental design.
