For unwashed steam-exploded substrates, the best glucose yield after 48 h of hydrolysis was obtained after pretreatment at
190 C for 10 min (228.31 ± 3.32 mg/g), while water-washed steam-exploded samples exhibited higher glucose yields when pretreated at 190 C for 8 or 10 min (243.29 ± 6.19 and ± 248.34
6.27 mg/g, respectively) and 200 C for 10 min (246.00 ±
9.60 mg/g). For the release of glucose in the hydrolysis of corn stover pretreated via steam explosion, (Lu et al., 2010) found that
