AB - A combined technology of high-temperature heating and microwave is proposed  to treat bamboo substrates prior to enzymatic hydrolysis to overcome the  limits of ei- ther technology. The combined technology helps to promote the  reducing sugar yield from enzymatic hydrolysis of bamboo. The protein  adsorption test indicated that more enzyme proteins could adsorb on the  surface of bamboo pretreated by the combined technology. Thus, the possibility of enzymes to hydrolyze bamboo increased. Meanwhile, X-ray diffractometry tested revealed that the combined technology  benefited the removal of non-cellulosic substances from bamboo and resulted  in a higher crystallinity.
