1. A method for converting a cellulosic material to glucose comprising the steps of:

  • combining a cellulosic material with a cellulase such that the resulting combination of cellulosic material and cellulase has 1% to about 30% cellulose by weight; and

    incubating said cellulosic material and cellulase combination at a temperature greater than about 38°

    C. to about 100°

    C. for about 0.1 hours to about 96 hours at a pH of from about 4 to about 9 to cause a hydrolysis reaction to convert at least 20% of said cellulosic material to soluble sugars,wherein said soluble sugars comprises glucose and cellobiose, and the fraction of glucose is at least 0.75 relative to said soluble sugars.
