Supplementation of hemicellulase enhanced SPS saccharification. 40 g/L SPS was used as the substrate. The saccharification was performed with (150 U/g) or without (control) the addition of commercial hemicellulase cocktail. The saccharification level was calculated by dividing the initial polysaccharides in the substrate (~ 0.89 g/g) with the amount of the obtained reducing sugar as determined by the DNS method. The inoculum size was 1%. Three independent experiments were performed to determine the average values and standard errors
