From: Ligninolytic enzymes: a biotechnological alternative for bioethanol production
Delignification process | Delignification | Sugar losses | Process duration | Economic | Environmental impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Enzymatic | High | Low | 2 to 48Â h | High costs | Positive |
Fungal | High | Low | 6 to 45 days | Low costs | Positive |
LMS | High | Low | 2 to 48Â h | High costs | Depends of the mediator |
IFF | Medium | Some | 1 to 12 weeks | Low costs | Positive |
