Optimisation of enzyme loading for saccharification. Yields of glucose achieved when hydrolysing rice straw (circle) and husk (filled circle) steam exploded at optimum conditions (10 min at 210 and 220 °C, respectively). Glucose yields are expressed as a percentage of the maximum theoretical yield. Samples were digested whilst being agitated at a substrate concentration of 5 % (w/v) at 50 °C for 96 h in cellulase (Cellic® CTec2; between 0 and circa 22 FPU/g cellulose)
