However, acid hydrolysis produces inhibitory compounds like furans, phenolics, and organic acids. Overliming with Ca(OH)_{<span class="s1">2</span>}is a detoxification process that removes these compounds and improves ethanol fermentation. Optimal conditions were determined using RSM and CCD frameworks. The study established specific ranges for the operation conditions: 7–12 for pH, 20–60^{<span class="s1">o</span>}C for reaction temperature, and 30–90 min for reaction time. The results indicated that the optimal conditions for detoxification were a pH of 9.5, a reaction temperature of 40^{<span class="s1">o</span>}C, and a reaction time of 60 min. The analysis revealed the removal of total furans at 38.37% and total phenolics at 50.02%. The fermentation of hydrolysate and detoxified hydrolysate found an ethanol yield of 0.22 and 0.30 g_{<span class="s1">product</span>/}g_{<span class="s1">substrate</span>,} respectively, and a theoretical yield of 43.42% and 57.96%, respectively. Overliming Ca(OH)_{<span class="s1">2</span>} could be an efficient detoxification process for removing and reducing the effects of inhibitory compounds in sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate.</p> Techut Promta Panomtian Thonkamdee Kittikorn Sasujit Copyright (c) 2024 Techut Promta, Panomtian Thonkamdee, Kittikorn Sasujit https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2024-01-23 2024-01-23 6 1 1 10 10.54279/mijeec.v6i1.253749
