Comparison of glucose yields from enzymatic hydrolysis DSA and THF-washed DSA switchgrass at cellulase loadings of i 65 mg protein/g glucan, ii 15 mg protein/g glucan, iii 5 mg protein/g glucan, and iv 2 mg protein/g glucan in unpretreated switchgrass. Pretreatment reaction conditions for DSA: 160 °C, 20 min, 0.5 wt% sulfuric acid; THF wash performed with 500 mL of THF at room temperature
