Notes:
Enzymolysis of cotton cellulose in their never-dried state, belonging to all the four cultivated species of cotton, was carried out with the enzyme derived from penicillium funiculosum F4. Hydrolysis to reducing sugars was almost complete for all the cottons in 6 h, though glucose percentage varied. X-ray characterizations of the residues obtained, which were both after enzyme and acid hydrolysis, showed significant differences between both hydrolyses, as well as differences in the behavior of different cotton fibers towards enzyme action. These differences have been attributed to the different structural organization of cellulose in the secondary cell wall of cotton fibers.
