Simulated final glucan to glucose conversion versus crystallinity fraction for different ratios (rc,a) between the digestibilities of the crystalline and the amorphous regions.
For each value of rc,a we observe a linear decrease in final glucan to glucose conversion percentage for increasing crystallinity fraction, whose slope becomes steeper as rc,a decreases. For rc,a = 10−3 we observe inverse proportionality in addition to linearity. Each simulated point represents an average over 100 simulations. Also shown are experimental data by Cui et al. [71] (empty squares) and Pena et al. [72] (empty circles).
