From: Alkaline peroxide pretreatment of corn stover: effects of biomass, peroxide, and enzyme loading and composition on yields of glucose and xylose

Figure 3

Glucose (Glc) and xylose (Xyl) yields as a function of H 2 O 2 and enzyme loading. In panels (a) and (b), the enzyme loadings ranged from 0 to 45 mg/g glucan. In panel (c), the enzyme loading ranged from 0 to 15 mg/g glucan. Pretreatment biomass loading was 10%, residence time was 24 h, and enzyme digestion time was 48 h. Glc (a and c) and Xyl (b) yield values indicate yield as a percentage of total measured monomeric Glc and Xyl content of the biomass. Numbers next to the data points are the Glc or Xyl yields (y axis values). The enzyme was Accellerase 1000.
