A thorough efficacy assessment was performed on three wheat straw saccharification processes including NaOH-delignification, autohydrolysis and their combination, with subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. Instead of optimizing the process for maximal sugar yield from straw, a novel perspective is provid...
