Preserving fermentation potential of sweet sorghum via ensiling

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7165986
; ; ;
Ensiling served to preserve the endogenous sugars in sweet sorghum and also rendered fibrous constituents more labile to enzymatic hydrolysis. When cellulase enzymes were added directly to the ensiling mixture, yields of fermentable sugar approached those obtained from submerged enzymatic hydrolysis of ensiled material. In situ hydrolysis greatly reduced capital equipment costs and resulted in a much higher return on investment.
