Conversion of bioethanol from old paper money bill by separate hydrolysisand fermentation

Paper money billis believed to be one of the mostpromising feedstock for near-term commercial application oftechnology for converting cellulosic raw materials intocommodity products. In this study, we conducted saccharification of waste papermoney using cellulase and β-glucosidase enzyme. Finally, we carried fermentation of paper money glucose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCCM 11304. By the separate hydrolysis and fermentation, we got 0.65 ㎎/g ethanol. Paper money can be used for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation.
