Biochemical Composition and Defensible Bioethanol Production from Seaweed Plentifully Available from Coastal Area of Saurashtra, Gujarat
ABSTRACT Acanthophora spicifera (Red algae) and Dictyopteris australis (Brown algae), biomasses were pretreated and subjected to fermentation. Acid pretreatment yielded 35.82±0.12 mg/g and 28.04±0.09 mg/g of reduced sugar respectively. Acid pretreated biomass subjected to enzyme hydrolysis yielded 216 mg/g and 187 mg/g of reduced sugar. Separate hydrolysis and fermentation was carried out for acid hydrolysate […]
