Does sugar inhibition explain mixing effects in enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose?
BACKGROUND: Enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose is associated with mixing issues, which are likely to affect process performance. The aim of this study was to investigate how viscosity and sugar inhibition influence the mixing-dependence in hydrolysis of steam-pretreated spruce. RESULTS: The effect of agitation on low-viscosity, low-solid hydrolysis (5% water insoluble solid (WIS)) was marginal
