Abstract

Present study deals with the enzymatic treatment of maize agro waste for biogas production. Three enzymes viz. laccase, cellulase, xylanase and their mixtures were utilized for pre-treatment of crop residues of maize. The effect of these treatments has been discussed in terms of Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) analysis. Enhancement in methane production up to 50.70% was observed when the biomass was pretreated with laccase, while cellulase treatment increased the production of methane by 36.59%. However, xylanase failed to improve methane production.
