  • Title: Compositional analysis of lignocellulosic materials: evaluation of methods used for sugar analysis of waste paper and straw.
    Author: Foyle T, Jennings L, Mulcahy P.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2007 Nov; 98(16):3026-36. PubMed ID: 17142038.
    Abstract:
    To determine the overall efficiency of processes designed to convert lignocellulosic polysaccharides to ethanol, it is first necessary to determine the composition of the lignocellulosic substrates. Three standard methods routinely referenced in the literature for this purpose are monoethanolamine, trifluoroacetic acid and concentrated sulphuric acid-based methods. However, in the course of our studies, the suitability of these standard methods for analysis of wastepaper and wheat straw came into question. This paper details our investigations in this area, together with recommendations for appropriate modifications to one of the standard methods for reproducible and representative lignocellulosic compositional analysis of waste paper and cereal straw.
