Although xylo-oligosaccharides production from lignocelluloses via lactic acid hydrolysis is advantageous in terms of high yields with less by-products, the use of high purity lactic acid inevitably increases the cost of xylo-oligosaccharides production. The utilization of lactic acid-rich fermentation broth for xylo-oligosaccharides production can avoid the separation and purification of lactic acid. However, the feasibility of lactic acid-rich fermentation broth for xylo-oligosaccharides production from lignocelluloses was unclear. In this work, the results indicated that the highest xylo-oligosaccharides yield of 72% was obtained from corncob by lactic acid-rich fermentation broth pretreatment and xylanase hydrolysis. Subsequently, monosaccharides-rich hydrolysate (90.9 g/L) was obtained from solid residues of corncob by cellulase hydrolysis. Lactic acid-rich fermentation broth was produced by Weizmannia coagulans fermentation of the monosaccharide-rich hydrolysate. Besides, the obtained xylo-oligosaccharides and lactic acid mixture might be used as feed additives, avoiding the purification and separation of lactic acid or xylo-oligosaccharides. Meanwhile, the production cost of feed grade xylo-oligosaccharides from this work was much lower than the current market price. Overall, this work proposed a new strategy for efficient and environmental-friendly production of xylo-oligosaccharides from corncob.
