Figure 5
Kinetic profiles for liberation of glucose by enzyme hydrolysis of wheat straw samples using C8546 cellulase at 40 FPU/g and 2 FPU/ml, at pH 4.9 at 50oC. Continuous lines are fit to parallel exponential model with parameters shown in Table 2. Data points: (● ) untreated straw, (♦ ) straw with intermediate hydrothermal treatment up to 180oC, (■ ) straw with full hydrothermal treatment up to 200oC, (▲ ) Fully hydrothermally treated straw subjected to wet blending.
