From: Enzymatic degradation of maize shoots: monitoring of chemical and physical changes reveals different saccharification behaviors

Fig. 4

Kinetics of saccharification of maize shoot fractions (Mc, Mm + , Mm-, Mf + and Mf-), in the reactor CINETORE. a Changes in the number of particles, b Changes in the mean particle size, c Sugar release (% of total sugars). For the evolution of particle size and quantity, the curves resulted from the two repetitions were averaged (mean values with standard error). For the sugar release, the two repetitions for each fraction were shown and differentiated by their symbols in the graph. The kinetics for the unfractionated maize shoot sample (M) were also plotted to highlight differences of saccharification after fractionation
