How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The aim of the study is to select reaction conditions for hydrolysis of wheat straw with dilute sulfuric acid for maximum xylose extraction under mild conditions (at atmospheric pressure and temperature of 100°C). The authors found that maximum glucose yield (72.4-77.1 weight % of the initial content of hemicelluloses in wheat straw) is achieved at a concentration of H2SO4 2-3 weight % and the hydrolysis process duration of 5 hours. Analysis of the obtained hydrolysates showed that they contain cellulose (56.8-70.4 weight %), lignin (19.8-28.8 weight %) and hemicelluloses (2.8-15.3 weight %).
