Enzymatic hydrolysis is limited by biomass–water interactions at high-solids: improved performance through substrate modifications

Abstract Background To improve process economics for production of fuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass, high solids concentrations are applied in enzymatic hydrolysis, to increase product concentration and reduce energy input. However, increasing solids concentrations decrease cellulose...
