Effects of Chemical and Thermal Pretreatments on the Enzymatic Saccharification of Rice Straw for Sugars Production

The effects of alkaline pretreatment with NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH)2, and NaOCl at varying temperatures and concentrations on the production of sugars, changes in the morphological structure, and the chemical composition of rice straw were evaluated. Enzymatic saccharification of 2% (w/v) KOH-treated rice s...
