ACID HYDROLYSIS OF WATER HYACINTH TO OBTAIN FERMENTABLE SUGARS

In order to take advantage of the aquatic weed water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as lignocellulosic feedstock for the production of reducing sugars, a bromatological characterization of the leaves and stems of the plant was performed. Then, the effects of the sulfuric acid concentration (1 -3% v...
