Endophytic Fungi as Pretreatment to Enhance Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Olive Tree Pruning

Table 1

Composition of liquid fractions collected after fungal pretreatment, alkali extraction, and acid hydrolysis expressed in g L−1. Consistency of fungal, mild alkali, and acid hydrolysis treatments was 20%, 5%, and 17%, respectively. Glc: glucose; Xyl: xylose; Ara: arabinose; AcH: acetic acid; GOS: glucooligosaccharides; XOS: xylooligosaccharides; AOS: arabinooligosaccharides; HMF: hydroxymethyl furfural; Furf: furfural.
