Production of acetone-butanol-ethanol from sago pith residues

Sago pith residues are one of the abundant lignocellulosic residues that left behind after starch extraction process and contains significant amount of starch (58%), cellulose (23%), hemicellulose (9.2%) and lignin (3.9%). This residue has a great potential as cheap and affordable substrate for the...

Production of acetone-butanol-ethanol from sago pith residues
description Sago pith residues are one of the abundant lignocellulosic residues that left behind after starch extraction process and contains significant amount of starch (58%), cellulose (23%), hemicellulose (9.2%) and lignin (3.9%).
