The objective of this study was to determine approximate start-up and operating costs for an artisan cheese company. In addition, values are provided for the required size of...
The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of physicochemical
properties of lignocellulosic biomass on the rate and extent of cellulose conversion, i.e.
the "hydrolyzability" of the substrate.
The initial two parts of this thesis investigated the interactions between various
components of pretreated biomass. The relevance of cellulase...
