Figure 2From: Unraveling the structure of sugarcane bagasse after soaking in concentrated aqueous ammonia (SCAA) and ethanol production by Scheffersomyces (Pichia) stipitisScanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis of SB showing surface images (a) Natural (b) SCAA-SB (c) After enzymatic hydrolysis (EH-SB). Natural SB showed rough and compact surface with extractives. SCAA-SB showed smooth and disrupted surface with several pores. EH-bagasse showed maximum heterogeneous nature of surface revealing the destruction of cellulose.Back to article page
