Abstract
Lignocellulosic raw materials are complex substrates composed mainly of
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. During the pretreatment steps, the
structure and composition is modified in order to of convert cellulose more
accessible towards enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose
can be improved by increasing the specific activity, functionality and
stability of cellulases, by designing more optimal cellulase mixtures, by
improving the enzyme production systems and by optimizing hydrolysis
techniques. Less attention has been paid to the role of other enzymes
hydrolysing or modifying lignin and hemicellulose. This paper highlights the
roles of various hemicellulases and lignin modifying enzymes, with the aim of
improving the overall performance of the enzymatic hydrolysis.
