Biological material derived from plants represents a promising source for renewable and sustainable biofuel production, but there is a lack of cost-effective and efficient enzymes for converting plant-derived carbohydrates to biofuels. This study systematically evaluates the specific physical and chemical properties of biomass that hinder the performance of commercial enzyme products.
