Schematic illustration of the conventional and the high-throughput (HT) approaches for the analysis of sugar release through pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. (A) Flow diagrams of the conventional and HT approaches for pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis and sugar analysis. (B) In the HT approach, the same vessel is used for both pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, thereby avoiding processing of biomass between these two operations.
