Kinetics And Optimization Studies Of Pressed Pericarp Fibers Pretreated With Organosolvent

The existence of lignin in pressed pericarp fibres (PPF) could inhibit the cellulolytic microorganisms from reacting with cellulose which directly inhibits the cellulolytic enzyme activities. In order to increase the susceptibility of cellulose, PPF was treated with organic solvent under high pressu...
