The main aims of this study were to examine the effectiveness of pretreatment methods for enhancing the conversion of Brachiara mutica (paragrass) lignocellulose into valuable reducing sugars by enzymatic hydrolysis. The pretreatments studied included alkali alone, microwave-assisted alkali, acid al...
