The TRS yield of sugarcane leaves after alkaline pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. a The TRS yield of sugarcane leaf hydrolysate at different NaOH concentrations. The sample (10%, w/v) was pretreated with NaOH in an autoclave at 121 °C for 60 min, then hydrolyzed using Cellic^® CTec2 (35 FPU/g-sugarcane leaves) at 50 °C and 150 rpm for 72 h. b The TRS yield from enzymatic hydrolysis of sugarcane leaves pretreated with 2% (w/v) NaOH at different enzyme loadings. Same-alphabet values are not significantly different (ρ < 0.05). Data are mean triple experiments ± SD
