Lignocellulosic biomass have great prospects as a feedstock for ethanol production. But the primary challenge in the ethanol production from lignocellulosic feedstock is the pretreatment process. Soaking in aqueous ammonia (SAA) method is one of the pretreatment methods. In this study the Brassica napus was used as the lignocellulosic feedstock for the production of ethanol and pretreated by SAA process. To optimize the SAA pretreatment of B. napus response surface methodology was applied to determine the effects of five-level-four-factors and their reciprocal interactions on the SAA pretreatment of B. napus. The change in morphology of the feedstock after pretreatment was observed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The converted sugars from feedstock was determined by using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with Aminex HPX-87P column.
