Avicel hydrolysis by cellulase enzyme in supercritical CO2

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The enzymatic hydrolysis reaction in supercritical CO2 to produce glucose from cellulosic material Avicel was investigated. In comparison with the result from the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction of Avicel without CO2 introduced as a reaction medium, the reaction rate and glucose concentration are increased.
