Abstract: | The composition of cellulose, hemicellulose, starch, lignin, pectin, protein, and total lipid content in the selected cellulosic
wastes-tapioca (Manihot esculenta) stem, leaf, petiole, and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) were determined. The effectiveness of various physical and chemical pretreatments on the enzymatic digestibility of these
wastes were identified. In general, chemical pretreatments were more effective than physical pretreatments. The efficiency
of the pretreatment was checked by subjecting these wastes to enzymatic saccharification after the pretreatments. |
