Popis: The present work investigates the efficiency of two pretreatment pathways of biomass, namely ionic liquid (IL) and dilute sulfuric acid (H2SO4) hydrolysis. Both processes are compared in terms of their composition and enzymatic saccharification efficacy. For the IL process, bamboo was dissolved in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Emim][OAc]) at different temperatures (90, 110, 130, and 150 °C) for 3 h. These pretreated bamboo samples were then characterized by thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction to evaluate the biomass crystallinity and thermal decomposition temperature. The crystallinity index, thermal decomposition temperature, hemicellulose, and lignin content of bamboo were found to decrease after [Emim][OAc] pretreatment. Further, the IL pretreated biomass significantly enhanced the enzymatic saccharification of cellulose component of bamboo. The enzymatic hydrolysis rate for IL pretreated biomass was 4.7 times higher than that of the acid pretreated biomass. This was primarily attr...
