Biotechnological methods for sugar extraction
Biotechnological methods for sugar extraction use microorganisms or enzymes to efficiency ly break down plant materials, like sugarcane or cellulose-rich biomass, into fermentable sugars. These methods involve enzymatic treatments that convert complex plant carbohydrates into simple sugars, which can then be processed into ethanol or other products. This approach enhances extraction efficiency, reduces chemical use, and is more sustainable compared to traditional methods. It leverages biotechnology to improve yield, lower costs, and minimize environmental impact, making sugar production more eco-friendly and adaptable to various raw materials.
