ABSTRACT

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most profuse plant material available on the earth, which is a potential feed stock for the production of food, energy, and various biochemical products. Majority of lignocelluloses includeagriresidual, industrial and municipal solid wastes. In recent decades, due to the depletion offossil oil reserves, lignocellulosic biomass has been established into an alternative bioenergy resource [1]. Lignocellulose is a composite material comprising of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin among cellulose and hemicellulose contribute over 65 percent dry weight of the agriresidues [2]. Enzymatic hydrolysis has been considered as the most strategic method for generating fermentable sugars from holocellulose [3, 4].
