Cellulose to Glucose (1 Viewer)

Hey everyone, I am just wandering is the only way to get cellulose to glucose is via acid digestion or are there other ways? Thanks

Cellulose can be broken down to form glucose through the use of a family of enzymes called cellulase. (http://www.easychem.com.au/production-of-materials/biomass-research/cellulose-as-a-raw-material)
