N2 - Enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass encounters many prohibitive factors which make it difficult to be developed on an industrial scale. Pretreatment has been found essentially effective for increasing the susceptibility of substrates to the enzyme, for example, by removing the lignin barrier and breaking down the crystal structure of cellulose in the raw materials. As a green and efficient technique, pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass employing organic solvents and organic electrolyte solution (OES) is introduced in this chapter. Future prospects and recommended research work for developing these technologies for practical application, as well as coupling production of high-value bio-products from lignocellulosic biomass, are also discussed. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
