Prediction of sugar yields during hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass using artificial neural network modeling

•First report describing effect of substrate size and loading on hydrolysis using ANN.•Particle size was found to have no significant role in hydrolysis.•Increasing biomass loading increases sugar concentration in hydrolysate.•A high substrate loading of 18% could be achieved.•ANN model can predict...
