Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides methods of producing pretreated lignocellulosic biomass combined with enzymes for the storage and transporation of the pretreated lignocellulosic biomass that may be used in biofuel and bioproduct production. The methods allows the coexistence of the pretreated lignocellulosic biomass and the enzymes during storage and transporation, the immediate hydrolysis of the pretreated lignocellulosic biomass to produce sugars, without further addition of enzymes, in a biofuel or bioproduct production site, the enhancement of the final hydrolytic activity of the pretreated lignocellulosic biomass, and/or the reduction in sensitivity of the inhibitors in the pretreated lignocellulosic biomass.
