Optimization of xylose production from sugarcane bagasse using response surface methodology (RSM)

Hemicellulose is defined as several polysaccharides that are more complex than a sugar and less complex than cellulose, found in plant cell walls. Xylose is a pentose sugar formed by the hydrolysis of xylan, the substrate found in hemicellulose. Sugarcane bagasse widespread with sugar sources contai...
