Abstract:
Hydrolysis of agricultural wastes of jute sticks and rice husks were studied to extract D-xylose. When jute sticks was used as substrate, 1N H2SO4 was found to be suitable for D-xylose extraction at boiling temperature after a period of 1h. 1N H2SO4 was also found best
for D-xylose extraction from rice husks. No cellobiose was detected in hydrolysate
