An enzymatic pre-treatment method for efficient saccharification of lignocellulosic materials

Abstract

The presently disclosed invention relates to an enzymatic pre-treatment method for efficient saccharification of lignocellulosic materials. The invention involves a process for releasing carbohydrates/sugars from processing the agricultural feedstock and pre-treating the processed feedstock with lignin modifying enzymes (LME) to produce the reaction mixture which is further used for releasing free carbohydrates/sugars. More particularly, it relates to the production of lignin modifying enzymes and efficient delignification of lignocellulosic materials by using lignin modifying enzymes to prepare ethanol or other bio-chemicals.
