Innovación enzimática en la producción de bioetanol de segunda generación: revisión

Abstract

The aim of this research was to carry out a bibliographic review on enzymatic innovation for the production of second-generation bioethanol, applying a classic review as well as an organized search strategy. 108 bibliographic references and documents focused on the production of second-generation bioethanol were found as well as the role that leading enzymes have in this process. After the use of the PRISMA selection and screening model, fifty high impact articles were selected since they accomplish the suitability criteria and are published in SCIMAGO Journal and Country Rank (SJR) indexed journals; 18 out of 50 publications were from the United Kingdom. According to the publication language, 49 documents were written in English. From the total number of selected publications, ten correspond to scientific articles published in 2020. This research allowed to collect and analyze updated information on the second-generation bioethanol production process, the enzymes used in the process and the production of recombinant bacterial enzymes. In addition, it was possible to demonstrate the close relationship existing between biotechnology and environmental protection for the planet. In order to obtain a faster and precise search through databases, it is recommended to use Boolean operators and keywords that reflect the content of the search.
