It comprises about 85 % of the total by-products,generating approximately 20 kg per 100 L [1]. BSG presents a valuable chemicalcomposition with a high content of protein and carbohydrates, 5 % of lipids and animportant source of phenolic compounds. Among the different techniques proposed tovalorize BSG, supercritical CO2 (sc-CO2) has become a promising technology to processbiomass. The main aim of this work was to assess the effect of sc-CO2, after BSG oilextraction, on the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis to hydrolyze the polysaccharidefraction into monomeric sugars by comparing the sugar yields of sc-CO2 and non-scCO2treated BSG.After sc-CO2 treatment at 40 MPa and 80 oC, the raffinate obtained was subjected toenzymatic hydrolysis by cellulase at different enzyme dose. At the sc-CO2 extraction thecarbohydrate fraction remained in the raffinate phase after extraction. Glucose yieldincreased with enzyme concentration for non-treated and sc-CO2 treated BSG. Higheryields of glucose were obtained for sc-CO2 treated compared to non-treated sc-CO2 for allthe enzymes concentrations. The percentage increase in glucose yield for sc-CO2 treatedand non-treated BSG was 8, 14 and 18 % for the three cellulase concentrations essayedin this work, 0.25, 0.5 and 1 %, respectively. The hydrolysis kinetics for xylose andarabinose have been also determined for non-treated and sc-CO2 treated BSG at 1 % ofcellulase dose. Although not big differences were observed in the final sugar yield in thehydrolysates, the initial hydrolysis rate were significant higher for the sc-CO2 treated BSGthan for the untreated samples. The higher enzymatic hydrolysis rate and yield obtained in the raffinate-BSG after sc-CO2 treatment compared with non-treated BSG could be attributed partially to the removalof the lipid fraction. As it has been described in literature [2], fats and oils could influencethe susceptibility of carbohydrates to enzymes. This improvement was also due to surfacemorphology modification. The structural and chemical changes of untreated and sc-CO2treated BSG was assessed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction(XRD). Although the XRD pattern after sc-CO2 treatment indicated that the pre-treatmentwas not strong enough to modify the BSG crystallinity, the raffinate exhibited an irregularporosity and lamellar structure. sc-CO2 broke partially some structural barriers allowinga better enzyme access.Furthermore, some phenolic compounds were determined in the enzymatic hydrolysatesat the end of the hydrolysis by using 1 % of cellulase (Table 1). It was observed that forp-coumaric acid and ferulic acid, a concentration 31 and 24 % higher, respectively, wasobtained in the BSG hydrolysates after sc-CO2 treatment, while for vanillin similarconcentration was obtained in both hydrolysates. The concentration of p-coumaric acidand vanillin after cellulase hydrolysis was lower than the values previously reported forthe same BSG by alkaline, xylanase (1%) and subcritical water hydrolysis [3], [4].Nevertheless, for ferulic acid, only a higher value was reached for alkaline hydrolysis.
