## Abstract The pretreatment of cellulose using ionic liquids (ILs) has been shown to be an effective method for improving the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose; this technique affords a fast and complete saccharification of cellulose into reducing sugars (Dadi et al., __Biotechnol Bioeng__. 2006;
## Abstract Hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose in aqueous media catalyzed by the __cellulase__ enzyme system suffers from slow reaction rates due in large part to the highly crystalline structure of cellulose and inaccessibility of enzyme adsorption sites. In this study, an attempt was made to disr
