Hydrolysis of Lignocellulosic Biomasses: Glucose Yield

This dataset contains experimental findings on hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomasses, based on data reported in journal papers. In total, it contains 533 individual measurements collected from nine published papers. The data spans ten different biomass feedstocks: examples include corn stover, spruce, pine, birch, reed canary grass, and pine bark. A total of thirty-two variables is collected. These cover compositional properties (glucan, hemicellulose, lignin, moisture), the pretreatment conditions (pretreatment type, solvent, temperature, reaction time, severity factor), and the enzymatic hydrolysis parameters (enzyme system, enzyme loading, pH, temperature, hydrolysis time). The outputs reported are primarily glucose yield and xylose yield. Each row corresponds to a single experiment and can be traced back to its original figure in the cited reference publication through the reference code included in the sheet. Some values in the dataset didn’t appear directly in the papers and had to be converted or averaged and these cells are shaded in grey. Examples include averaging pH ranges when only a range was reported, or converting glucose concentrations (e.g., g/L) into percentage yields.
