Abstract:SummaryBarley straw is an agricultural residue of low added value used for alcohol production through chemical pretreatments. However, chemical pretreatments are expensive and generate residues, preventing the possible application of this product in the food. This study aims to use piperonylic acid as a lignin inhibitor applied in a barley field to obtain a pretreated straw more accessible to structural carbohydrates, releasing fermentable sugars and partially replacing malt in beer. Straws showed structural a… Show more
