Abstract

Bamboo processing was performed with commercial cellulase. The properties of ellulase and the effect of high temperature pretreatment on cellulase hydrolysis f bamboo were investigated. Results indicated that cellulase hydrolysis performed ast and dramatically within 30 minutes, and then gradually reached its alance. It was found that pretreatment played an active role in cellulase rocessing, which enhanced the saccharification of bamboo and benefited highmolecular- eight lignin degradation and removal. Additionally, a better performance f bamboo processing was achieved under the cellulase concentration of 5IU in total reaction system of 100 ml at 50 °C, pH 4.8, together with the high emperature pretreatment of 120 °C for 15 minutes.
