Abstract:
The use of stillage in a saccharification/fermentation process of lignocellulosic biomasses, regardless of the form of the biomasses and regardless of the use of the obtained final hydrolyzed broth. The beneficial effect conferred by the stillage to the saccharification process of lignocellulosic biomasses presents among other characteristics the ability to buffer the reaction medium, especially when such process takes place in an enzymatic route, but not limited to it, regardless of the type of biomass being used and the type of pretreatment to which the biomass is subjected. Fermentation processes, such as the ethanol production, using stillage as source of nutrients such as, for example, nitrogen, for growing microorganisms, but not limited to it.
