A study on protein adsorption on biomass surface in the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn straw into fermentable monosaccharides
Corn straw biomass was pretreated with H2O2 in alk. medium and then hydrolyzed in presence of a com. enzyme formulation at 50 degrees C to produce glucose and xylose (yields 80.5% and 88.2%, resp.). The adsorption of enzymes on the raw material was described with Langmuir model isotherms.
