| Abstract | Pretreatment is an essential step to effectively hydrolyze lignocellulosic polysaccharides. In this paper, we investigated the degree of decompositions of lignin and cell wall structure using dilute acid, alkali, and water pretreatments to assess both chemical and ultrastructural alterations during pretreatment. The thioacidolysis method showed that β-O-4 linkages in lignin were mostly cleaved after all pretreatments, in which the highest decrease of β-O-4 units was for NaOH pretreatment, followed by hot water and H2SO4 pretreatments. The amounts of lignin degradation compounds, including vanillin and syringaldehyde, in the supernatant water also differed between the three pretreatments. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy revealed clear differences among the pretreatments in decomposing the ultrastructure of the inner surface of the fiber cell walls. Small pores were formed due to degradation of a part of the warty layer of the innermost surface in H2SO4 pretreatment. The warty layer was more degraded in hot water pretreatment and thus the cellulose microfibrils of the secondary walls were exposed. NaOH pretreatment showed that the warty layer was almost completely decomposed. The comparative study of different pretreatments using chemical methods and microscopic observations led to a better understanding of decomposition of wood cell walls by thermochemical pretreatment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
