Part of the book series: Advances in Biochemical Engineering ((ABE,volume 14))

Abstract

This review emphasizes the structure and morphology of cellulose, which are pertinent to understanding the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. Physical and chemical constraints on the susceptibility of cellulose to hydrolysis will be examined. In addition, the relationship between the capillary structure of cellulose fiber and enzymatic hydrolysis will be discussed.
