From: Hemicelluloses negatively affect lignocellulose crystallinity for high biomass digestibility under NaOH and H2SO4 pretreatments in Miscanthus

Figure 2

Cellulose and lignin negative effects on biomass digestibility. Miscanthus sample (A) with relatively higher cellulose level (Mlu01) or (C) lignin content (Msa02) showing a decreased biomass digestibility after pretreatments with NaOH or H2SO4 at three concentrations; (B) Glucose yield released by enzymatic hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose obtained from 4 M KOH and acetic-nitric acids extractions of biomass samples (Methods: plant cell wall fractionation).
