Abstract There was a considerable change in the structural parameters of both the lignocellulosic substrates. This change was confirmed by infrared (IR) spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction data, which reveled the presence of phenolic groups in the peaks range 1310–1410 and 1200 cm −1 with large crystalline substrates. These were found to be reduced after treatment with alkali. Enzyme/s activity were found to increased after pretreatment of hydrolysed substrates. The structural modification in both the substrates were further evidenced by the results obtained after enzymatic hydrolysis of alkali‐treated substrates.
