Abstract

Enzymatic hydrolysis of technical cellulose of miscanthus in the acetate buffer with enzymatic preparation BrewZyme BGX was investigated. A linear dependence of the final concentration of reducing substances on the initial substrate concentration was established. The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose in aqueous medium with sequential addition of enzymatic preparations BrewZyme BGX, Celluxil, CelloLux-A was studied. The results of fermentation of the hydrolysates of Miscanthus technical cellulose obtained in the aqueous medium provide evidence of their sound quality, so these hydrolysates can be used for conversion into ethanol, gel film of bacterial cellulose and other products of microbiological transformation.
