FEBRUARY 19, 2010
Now, researchers at the University of Central Florida have developed a tobacco plant-derived cocktail of enzymes for the efficient hydrolysis of a range of lignocellulosic biomass. The new crude-extract enzyme cocktails yielded more (up to 3,625%) glucose from filter paper, pine wood or citrus peel than commercial cocktails.
