Enzymatic saccharification of acid/alkali pre-treated, millrun, and depithed sugarcane bagasse

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different conditions for enzymatic saccharification such as enzyme dose, reaction time, and amount of surfactant were studied in detail, and the pre-treated substrate (10% w/v) when hydrolysed using 30 FPU/gds/40 FPU /g dry substrate (gds) with 0.4% Tween® 80 for 20 h resulted in 604 mg/gd total reducing sugars.
