Abstract

In the present research it is realized a the influence of various factors on lignocellulosic biomass (Pinus sp.) by applying a dilute acid hydrolysis as a pretreatment to the lignocellulosic material. Which is evaluated by an
enzymatic hydrolysis test, where results obtained indicate that higher concentrations of sugars and higher yields after enzymatic hydrolysis in the most severe pretreatment.
