Abstract

En 中文
Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) are high-value prebiotic sugars generated from lignocellulosic biomass, which are increasingly used in bioprocessing industries. However, the presence of furfural produced during pretreatment complicates their recovery from biomass. This inhibitor not only hinders enzymatic hydrolysis, but also disrupts downstream fermentation, particularly alcoholic fermentation, where yeast activity is reduced. Valorization of pineapple waste via enzymatic hydrolysis and membrane separation provides a sustainable method for producing XOS while controlling inhibitory compounds. This study investigates the effects of operating parameters including pH, pressure, temperature and agitation speed on the simultaneous recovery of XOS and the mitigation of furfural, in correlation with membrane fouling behaviour.
