                                        Basically, ferulic acid cover for 1.15% of straw.

                                        Then, the enzyme activity of ferulic acid degradation can be calculated.

                                        Next, we assume that the rate of xylan decomposition is the same

                                        Finally, through derivation, we can get 0.0348 kg xylose from 1 kg straw.
