ALKALINE PEROXIDE OXIDATION PRETREATMENT OF CORN COB AND RICE HUSKS FOR BIOCONVERSION INTO BIO-COMMODITIES: PART A-ENZYMATIC CONVERTIBILITY OF PRETREATED RICE HUSKS TO REDUCING SUGAR
ABSTRACT: In this study, a 23-central composite design (CCD) of experiments was adopted using MINITAB 15 statistical software to investigate the effect of pretreatment conditions on enzymatic digestibility of rice husks to reducing sugar and establish the optimum pretreatment conditions for the process. Alkaline peroxide oxidation pretreatment conditions were chosen at low–high values of...
