Upgrading sugarcane straw into biopigments via enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation by Monascus ruber : integrating statistical analysis and kinetic modeling

Key Points

• Biopigments are derived from sugarcane straw through enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation.
• The process involves lignin extraction followed by chemical characterization of cellulosic pulp.
• Assessment shows a significant transformation of sugarcane straw into viable biopigments, indicating potential for sustainable materials.
• Integrating statistical analysis and kinetic modeling enhances understanding of the transformation process.
