Honeydew melon rind is an abundant and low-cost fruit waste, which holds potential for glucose and eventual bioethanol synthesis. In this study, alkaline pre-treatment was introduced to break down the lignin structure before conducting acid hydrolysis to further breakdown the cellulosic components i...
