Biomass pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis is one of the most viable ways to obtain sugars from biomass. In this work, the effect combined alkaline pretreatment and Deep Eutectic Solvent on enzyme hydrolysis of Hyparrhenia filipendula by cellulase is investigated. There is no previously reported literature on this substrate and the authors aim to establish baseline values for further research in the utilization of Hyparrhenia filipendula.
