Hydrothermal treatment can be applied to pretreatment of ethanol fermentation process. What is important in the pretreatment step is that lignocellulosic material be effectively hydrolyzed to smaller saccharides and not be further converted to other substances. In this study we developed reaction kinetics of cellulose hydrolysis to glucose for evaluation of hydrothermal treatment condition.
