Figure 6

Schematic diagram representing the process of CCR hydrolysis with the participation of TS. (1) Enzymes and substrates are attracted together by the TS; (2) TS promotes the release of enzymes non-productively binding on the substrate; (3) TS led to a higher recovery of enzymatic FPAs at the end of hydrolysis; (4) TS homogenize organic matter in solution with its hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups; and (5) the hydrophobic interaction between TS and lignin. CCR, corncob residue; FPA, filter paper activity; TS, tea saponin.
