1. A method for isolating components of lignocellulosic material comprising:

  • comminuting lignocellulosic material to form comminuted lignocellulosic material;

    enzymatically digesting a mixture comprising the comminuted lignocellulosic material, at least one blend of enzymes, and aqueous solution in the absence of any prior non-enzymatic lignin separation from the lignocellulosic material, for enzymatic hydrolysis liberating at least one C6 and/or C5 sugar from an insoluble portion of the lignocellulosic material comprising lignin; and

    separating at least a portion of the aqueous solution containing the at least one C6 and/or C5 sugar from the insoluble portion comprising lignin.
