Figure 1From: Coupling alkaline pre-extraction with alkaline-oxidative post-treatment of corn stover to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentabilityImpact of NaOH and solids loading (w/v) during alkaline pre-extraction on the solubilization of cell-wall polymers and extractives. Results are plotted for (A) total biomass solids, (B) Klason lignin, and (C) hemicelluloses (Xyl + Gal + Man). Pre-extraction was performed at 80°C for 1 h.Back to article page
