Theoretical yields are calculated on the basis of 100% conversion of Glucan, Mannan (and other 6-Carbon sugars), and Xylans (and other 5-Carbon sugars) in enzymatic hydrolysis, and conversion of the sugars in ethanolgenic fermentation at 100% fermention efficiency. Practical yields are estimated based on application of 5 FPU enzyme (per gram of substrate), laboratory conversion efficiency, and 95% and 80% conversion of C-6 and C-5 sugars, respectively.
