Production of a cellulosic substrate susceptible to enzymatic hydrolysis from prehydrolyzed barley husks

An effective process for the chemical-biotechnological utilization of barley husks is reported. A first treatment with sulfuric acid (prehydrolysis) allowed the solubilization of hemicelluloses to give xylose-containing liquors (suitable to make fermentation media for xylitol production) and a solid...
