Effect of crystallinity and degree of polymerization of cellulose on enzymatic saccharification
Abstract
Lignocellulose materials were pretreated by methods known to improve enzymatic saccharification, and the percentage crystallinity (x‐ray diffraction) and degree of polymerization were measured. It was observed that although the percentage crystallinity of cellulose was not altered by alkaline explosion (AE), carbon dioxide explosion (CE), ozone, and sodium chlorite treatment, very great increases were obtained in the extent of enzymatic saccharification. All the pretreatments studied except sodium chlorite caused significant reduction in degree of polymerization. It appears likely that the rate and extent of saccharification is governed by particle size, surface area, and degree of polymerization, since crystallinity effects alone do not explain the observed trends in the hydrolysis data.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
