Table 2 Sugar composition (g g ⁻¹ WHB) of enzymatic hydrolysates of pretreated WHB at 48 h

Enzyme source	Glucose	Xylose	Total sugar	Saccharification %
T. reesei	0.444^a ± 0.12	0.057^a ± 0.09	0.531^a ± 0.12	40.2
F. oxysporum	0.428^b ± 0.31	0.038^b ± 0.11	0.488^b ± 0.17	38.2

Values are the mean of three replicates ± SE. Means followed by the same letter within treatment do not differ significantly (p = 0.05).
