Effect of enzymatic hydrolysis conditions of ligno-cellulosic raw materials on the glucose yield
Lignocellulosic raw materials (wheat straw, potato stalks) were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis after pretreatment with a dild. acid. The increase in reaction temp. (from 35 to 45 C) resulted in an increase in the glucose yield by 50-60 g/kg. The addn. of supportive enzymes (hemicelulases) resulted also in increasing the sugar yield by 3-15% in comparison to only cellulase-catalyzed hydrolysis.
