Brewers’ spent grain pretreatment optimisation to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis of whole slurry and resuspended pellet

A thermal diluted acid pretreatment using brewers spent grain (BSG) was optimised to improve enzymatic hydrolysis while minimising energy and chemical inputs. First, the use of hydrochloric or sulfuric acid for pretreatment was compared, using hydrochloric acid for the next steps. Three different di...
