Carnauba (Copernicia prunifera) straw residue generated from production of its wax is rich in cellulose, thus showing a potential use in the production of second generation ethanol. However, the high lignin and hemicellulose load associated with cellulose makes it difficult the enzymatic attack, thus having the need of an adequate pretreatment of this material. The objective of this study was to optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis of carnauba straw residue, focusing on the alkaline biomass pretreatment. Therefore, NaOH solutions at concentrations of 1.0% (w/v) (PA1), 2.0% (w/v) (PA2), 3.0% (w/v) (PA3) and 4.0% (w/v) (PA4) were used. The chemical and physical characterization of natural and pre-treated carnauba straw were according to the NREL, and DRX and FTIR performed analyzes. The materials chemical characterization showed that all the used pretreatments were able to remove a significant amount of lignin and hemicellulose, which can improve the enzymes access, favoring the increase of cellulose conversion. In relation to DRX analysis an increase in crystallinity index happens reaching up to 55.15% after the pretreatment PA4, which may be associated to the removal of hemicellulose and amorphous lignin, related to cellulose. After a period of 96 hours of enzymatic hydrolysis, the PA4 pretreated residue showed the best performance with a cellulosic conversion of 78%. Spite of a slightly lower performance of the residue that presented higher cellulose conversion, the pretreated material PA2 is an alternative to reduce costs in the cellulosic ethanol production.

Abstract This study aimed to produce xylooligosaccharide (XOS) and arabino-xylooligosaccharide (AXOS) from rice husk (RH) using microwave treatment combined with enzymatic hydrolysis and evaluate their prebiotic properties. The RH was pretreated by a microwave heating process at 140, 160 and 180°C for 5, 10, and 15 min to obtain crude arabinoxylan (AX). The results emphasized that increasing microwave pretreatment time increased sugar content. The crude AX was then extracted with 2% (w/v) sodium hydroxide at 25°C for 24 h. The obtained AX was then used as a substrate for XOS production by commercial xylanases. The results showed that the oligosaccharide produced by Pentopan Mono BG and Ultraflo Max provided xylobiose and xylotriose as the main products. Interestingly, AXOS was also present in the oligosaccharide product. Furthermore, the oligosaccharides obtained were able to promote the growth of Lactobacillus spp. and to resist degradation more than 70% after exposure to simulated human digestion.
