Chapter 1“Plant Cell Wall Structure-Pretreatment” the Critical Relationship in Biomass Conversion to Fermentable Sugars

Faik, Ahmed

Pages: 1 –30

[One of the targeted research areas in implementing alternative renewable energy production is the improvement of the yield and quality of plant biomass, which consists mostly of plant cell walls (called lignocellulosic biomass). Sugars from plant biomass can be used to produce bioethanol through...
