Abstract
⺠Steam pretreatment of hardwoods releases lignin-derived phenolic inhibitors. ⺠Washing of pretreated solids with water removes inhibitors (sugar oligomers, phenolics). ⺠Hot water (90 °C) recovers more hydrophobic and inhibitory phenolics than cold water (25 °C). ⺠Phenolic inhibitors act on both enzymes and fermentation microorganisms. ⺠Inhibition is decreased through fractionation of the inhibitors using XAD-7 or activated carbon.
