Abstract:In this work, phosphoric acid pretreatment (0.6% H3PO4, 160 °C, 40 min) of eucalyptus residues was performed to recover the hemicellulosic fraction for further conversion to l‐lactic acid by fermentation with Weizmannia coagulans DSM 2314 (formerly Bacillus coagulans). The hemicellulosic hydrolysate was composed of xylosaccharides 24.8 g L–1 (mainly xylose, 20.3 g L–1), acetic acid 7.8 g L–1, furfural 0.7 g L–1, and acid‐soluble lignin (ASL) 2.1 g L–1. It was subsequently purified by using anion exchange or ad… Show more
