The aim of this study was to determine carbohydrate recovery from hemp for ethanol production and quantify biodiesel from TAG (Triacylglycerol) present in hemp. The structural composition of five different hemp varieties (Seward County-SC, York County-YC, Loup County-LC, 19 m96136-19 m, and CBD Hemp-CBD) were analyzed. Concentration of glucan and xylan ranged between 32.63 to 44.52% and 10.62 to 15.48% respectively. The biomass was then pretreated with Liquid hot water followed by disk milling and then hydrolyzed enzymatically to yield monomeric sugars. High glucose (63-85%) and xylose (73-88%) recovery was achieved. Lipids were extracted from hemp using hexane and isopropanol and then transesterified to produce biodiesel. Approximately, 50% of total fatty acids in SC, LC, and CBD hemp were linoleic acid. Palmitic acid was present between 32 to 50% in varieties YC and 19 m. Highest TAG concentration at 25% of total lipids was observed in CBD hemp. The analysis on lipid composition and high sugar recovery demonstrates hemp as a potential bioenergy crop for ethanol and biodiesel coproduction.

这项研究的目的是确定从大麻中回收的碳水化合物以生产乙醇，并从大麻中存在的TAG（三酰基甘油）中定量生物柴油。分析了五个不同的大麻品种（苏厄德县-南卡罗来纳州，约克县-YC，卢普县-LC，19 m96136-19 m和CBD大麻-CBD）的结构组成。葡聚糖和木聚糖的浓度分别在32.63％至44.52％和10.62％至15.48％之间。然后用液体热水预处理生物质，然后进行圆盘研磨，然后酶促水解以产生单体糖。实现了高葡萄糖（63-85％）和木糖（73-88％）的回收率。使用己烷和异丙醇从大麻中提取脂质，然后酯交换生成生物柴油。SC，LC和CBD大麻中大约50％的总脂肪酸是亚油酸。YC和19 m品种中棕榈酸的含量在32％至50％之间。在CBD大麻中观察到最高的TAG浓度为总脂质的25％。对脂质成分和高糖回收率的分析表明，大麻是乙醇和生物柴油联产的潜在生物能源作物。
