In this study, scientists tested steam explosion as a way to prepare corn stalks for producing sugar. They used different levels of steam pressure and acidity to break down the structure of the corn stalks. The results showed that steam explosion effectively increased the amount of sugar obtained from the corn stalks. The best conditions for this process were found to be using a pressure of 2.0 MPa, holding the pressure for 300 seconds, adding 1% acid for 24 hours. These findings demonstrate that steam explosion can be a useful method for converting corn stalks into sugars efficiently.
