Background

Alpha-amylase, a crucial enzyme in the biotechnological realm, plays a pivotal role in the liquefaction of lignocellulosic biomass. This enzymatic process entails the hydrolysis of starch in biomass to facilitate the production of fermentable sugars. The efficacy of alpha-amylase in breaking down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars makes it an indispensable tool in biofuel generation. Moreover, by aligning with the green chemistry principles and frameworks, alpha-amylase contributes towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to lignocellulosic biomass liquefaction. This, combined with its high specificity and operational stability, underscores its potential as a catalyst in enhancing the efficiency of biomass-to-biofuel conversions. Increasing research attention is being directed towards the design and optimization of this enzyme, emphasizing its significance in the renewable energy sector.
