Therefore, the lignocellulose-containing material has to be pre-treated, e.g. , by acid hydrolysis under adequate conditions of pressure and temperature, in order to break the lignin seal and disrupt the crystalline structure of cellulose. This causes solubilization of the hemicellulose and cellulose fractions.
- the cellulose and hemicelluloses can then be hydrolyzed enzymatically, e.g. , by cellulolytic enzymes, to convert the carbohydrate polymers into fermentable sugars which may be fermented into a desired fermentation product, such as ethanol.

- Addition of strong acids, such as sulphuric acid, may be applied to remove hemicellulose. This enhances the digestibility of cellulose.
