Effects of pH on steam explosion extraction of acetylated galactoglucomannan from Norway spruce

Abstract Background Acetylated galactoglucomannan (AcGGM) is a complex hemicellulose found in softwoods such as Norway spruce (Picea abies). AcGGM has a large potential as a biorefinery feedstock and source of oligosaccharides for high-value industrial applications. Steam explosion is an effective m...
