Selective production of xylo-oligosaccharides and xylose for further application and co-production of fermentable sugars from corncob via controlled ammonium persulfate-assisted hydrothermal pretreatment.
Ammonium persulfate (APS)-assisted hydrothermal pretreatment (HP) is an emerging method for xylan depolymerization, yet its potential for integrated valorization of all biomass fractions remains underexplored. This study aimed to selectively produce xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) and xylose from corncob via controlled APS...
