A. AFEX Pretreatment Process B. Changes in the biomass after pretreatment Mosier et al., Bioresour. Technol Expansion

AFEX Treated Untreated Teymouri et al., Applied Biochem. Biotechnol., 2004 Fed-batch SSF on CS after 168 hrs CS- corn stover

Understanding the AFEX Process What kind of compounds are released during AFEX process and do they inhibit enzymes and microbes ? Techniques used –SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) –LSCM (Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope) using Safranin Fluorescent dye –ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis) –Water Washing to remove degradation compounds Phenolic Estimation (Prussian Blue Method) LC-MS/UV analysis of wash stream –Enzymatic Hydrolysis (cellulase, beta-glucosidase)

LSCM Corn Cob Fiber Cell Cross Section UntreatedAFEX treated Secondary Cell Walls rich in lignin Safranin dye binds to lignin-like compounds smeared on the surface 50  ms

Degradation Products During Dilute Acid Pretreatment Palmqvist et. al., Bioresource Technol. 2000

Source: Lignin-Hemicellulose Complex

Oligosaccharide and monosaccharide componentsin AFEX wash stream Corn syrup oligosaccharide standard Acid hydrolyzed AFEX CS wash stream AFEX CS wash stream (Biorad Aminex 42-A Column Chromatograms) What do we know about AFEX wash stream Oligosaccharides ? High degree of polymerization (> 10), similar for AFEX treated grasses (Corn stover, rice straw, bagasse, switchgrass) Arabinoxylan based oligosaccharides, for corn stover atleast Need to study if AFEX is cleaving very specific LCC (lignin- hemicellulose complex) bonds…

 AFEX is a novel alkali based pretreatment, however, a fundamental understanding of the process is still lacking  ESCA, LSCM, SEM indicate lignin-hemicellulose degradation, solubilization and deposition on biomass surface  Liquid ammonia also cleaves hemicellulose to oligosaccharides, at specific cleavage sites possibly  Degradation products released during AFEX process: Short chain Organic Acids (acetic, lactic), Phenolic and Aromatic acids inhibit enzymes to a certain degree.  Future Studies: Wash Stream analysis for other biomasses, Effect of degradation components on microbes Summary
