From this viewpoint, the enzymatic saccharification of cellulosic materials, mainly renewable agricultural residues, is a countermeasure against this problem. One positive feature along this line is the extremely large quantity of cellulosic resources being produced each year in subtropical and tropical developing countries. 2, record 1, English, - cellulosic
