PROCESS AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS BY ADDITION OF HYDROTHERMALLY TREATED STILLAGE
First Claim
1. A method of producing hydrolysate from cellulosic material, including the steps of:
- adding hydrothermally treated stillage or a fraction thereof to cellulosic material;
treating the mixture of hydrothermally treated stillage and cellulosic material with at least one hydrolyzing enzyme; and
hydrolyzing complex carbohydrates in the cellulosic material.

Abstract
A method of producing hydrolysate from cellulosic material by adding hydrothermally treated stillage or a fraction thereof to cellulosic material, treating the mixture of hydrothermally treated stillage and cellulosic material with at least one hydrolyzing enzyme, and hydrolyzing and converting complex carbohydrates in the cellulosic material. The hydrolysate produced by the method. Ethanol, organic acids, and organism metabolites produced by the method. Biomass produced by the method. A method of increasing sugar production rate and yield of sugars from cellulosic material by adding hydrothermally treated stillage or a fraction thereof to cellulosic material, treating the mixture of hydrothermally treated stillage and cellulosic material with at least one hydrolyzing enzyme, and hydrolyzing complex carbohydrates in the cellulosic material and forming sugars.
