Abstract:In this study, contrary to untreated poplar fiber, processing of alkali-treated poplar fiber was optimized for the enzymatic saccharification. Considering reducing sugar content as the evaluation index, pH, temperature, time, amount of enzyme, and rotational speed of shaker were standardized to optimize the sugar production by enzymatic hydrolysis. Using response surface methodology, the optimum technological condition of enzymatic hydrolysis was found to be utilizing 43 mg cellulase at 46 °C for 50 h. At this… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
