FERMENTATIVE PROCESS FOR LIGNOCELLULOSIC PLANT BIOMASS

摘要

The present invention refers to a fermentative process comprising a pre- treatment step and enzymatic hydrolysis of a lignocellulosic plant biomass, wherein this pre-treatment includes the use of steam, optionally in the presence of catalysts, an enzymatic pre-treatment and a fermented product from this process. Specifically, the plant biomass is cane bagasse and the product is ethanol.
