Poplar wood (Populus sp.) was ground to chips (0.43-1.0 mm) and extd. with a CHCl3/EtOH mixt. to obtain Kurschner-Hoffer cellulose and chlorite holocellulose. All the materials were hydrolyzed with Dyadic Cellulase CP CONC (pH 5.3) and Dyadic Xylanase 2XP CONC (pH 5.4) for 24 and 60 h. Non extd. wood was also hydrolyzed for comparison. The hydrolyzates after 60 h were fermented to EtOH with a distillery yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The resulted alc. was septd. by simple distn. and analyzed by high-performance liq. chromatog.
