Abstract
During the enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-exploded wood, enzymes are adsorbed on both the cellulosic and noncellulosic components. Significant amounts of enzymes are recovered from the spent hydrolysis residue, which consists mostly of lignin, by neutralizing the pH from 4.5, the optimum for hydrolysis.
