Fig. 1From: Relationship between sugarcane culm and leaf biomass composition and saccharification efficiencyGlucose yield (bars) and percent conversion of glucan to glucose (line) of sugarcane culm (light bars) and leaf (dark bars) tissues after 26 h of pre-saccharification. Prior to saccharification, alcohol-insoluble residue samples were untreated (a) or subjected to dilute acid (DA) (b), hydrothermal (HT) (c) and ionic liquid (IL) (d) pretreatments. Least square adjusted means (untreated, n = 3; pretreated, n = 6) are presented ± standard deviation. Letters indicate differences in glucan conversion among genotype × tissue combinations within pretreatment according to Tukey’s honestly significant difference (p ≤ 0.05)Back to article page
