An electron diffraction study on continuously and repeatedly enzyme‐hydrolyzed cotton samples was carried out. The electron diffraction pattern on repeatedly enzyme‐treated sample reveals a cellulose I pattern with the absence of the 101 plane. This confirms that enzymatic hydrolysis of cotton fibers proceeds preferentially along the 101 plane, being a clevage plane.
