  1. Values followed by different superscripts in each column are significantly different (P ≤ 0.05).
  2. @Total Reducing sugar (μg/g) was estimated after 2% NaOH, 121 °C, and 1 h pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis.
  3. $Cellulose and hemicellulose (μg/g) content of plants before pretreatment.
  4. *Theoretical ethanol yield (ml/100 g) was calculated from total reducing sugars after enzymatic hydrolysis, assuming that the theoretical ethanol yield for fermenting is
  5. 0.511 g per g of hexose or pentose and by multiplying with specific volume of ethanol i.e. 1.267 ml per g (Vogel et al.56).
