Table 2: Cannabis sativa L. pretreated by steam explosion. Biotransformation in 50 mM buffer acetate pH 5.0 T = 50 °C, for 24, 48 and 72 h incubation  The results of conversion of Cannabis sativa L., pretreated with AAS using the commercial enzymatic cocktail in combination with the arabinofuranosidase, highlighted that the yield of glucose after 72 h of bioconversion  remained substantially unchanged (Table 3) whilst a higher yield in xylose was obtained with the use of the auxiliary enzyme.  Analyzing the sugars recovery utilizing hemp SE pretreated as substrate, it was obtained a high yield of glucose (62.0%) and xylose (95.8 %), after 72 h of biotransformation (pH 5.0, T 50 °C and 500 rpm). The  addition of the a-L-arabinofuranosidase (ara) as auxiliary enzyme did not substantially influence the xylose recovery (97.1 %) (Table 2).
