Summary
In this research the activated carbon pretreatments for reed hemicellulose liquor produced in a MILOX process were studied. The remaining sugar fraction was utilised as a raw material for lactic acid fermentation. Earlier results from birch hemicellulose experiments were used for comparison. Pretreated reed hemicellulose liquor can be used as a substrate for lactic acid fermentation by Lactobacillus pentosus. Nearly complete conversion was achieved in 48 h, and the product contained 33 g/1 lactic acid and 17 g/1 acetic acid.
