Figure 6From: Effects of tea saponin on glucan conversion and bonding behaviour of cellulolytic enzymes during enzymatic hydrolysis of corncob residue with high lignin contentSchematic 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.Back to article page
