Glucan recovery in solids following pretreatment and enzyme loadings for hydrolysis of pretreated solids based on glucan content in raw corn stover

Pretreatment	Glucan yield (%)	Enzyme loading (mg protein/g glucan in raw)	Enzyme loading (mg/g glucan in pretreated)
Dilute acid	87	30	34
AFEX	100		30
Ionic liquid	90		33

Glucan yield in solids = Glucan in pretreated biomass (g)/ Glucan in the starting material (g).

Enzyme loading per g glucan in pretreated biomass = Enzyme loading per g glucan in raw/ glucan yield in solids.
