Conclusion
Feedstock availability and sustainability are the main
limitations of bioethanol commercialization. In this present
study the weedy lignocellulosic biomass water hyacinth
was explored as next generation biofuel resource due to its
growth sustainability. The purpose of the present work is to
investigate the possibility of using crude cellulases and
xylanases produced by T. reesei using water hyacinth
biomass to be more cost effective. Therefore this report
emphasizes that both hexose and pentose produced in the
enzymatic hydrolysis of water hyacinth biomass is easily
fermented by P. tannophilus yeast. In conclusion, the data
obtained for fermentation in lignocellulosic residues
revealed that the dilute acid pretreatment followed by
enzymatic hydrolysis, indicates that the water hyacinth
biomass stands as an alternative feed stock and is economically
favorable for fuel ethanol production.
