Comparison of three deep eutectic solvents and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate in the pretreatment of lignocellulose: effect on enzyme stability, lignocellulose digestibility and one-pot hydrolysis

Abstract

The use of [EMIM]AcO and three DESs was compared in lignocellulose pretreatment with focus on cellulase stability, effects on lignocellulose and enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulose in both buffer and in solutions of ionic liquid or DES.
