Lignocellulosic biomass pretreated with ammonia, wherein the concentration of said biomass in the reaction mixture has been reduced over time, compared with equivalent biomass pretreated at a constant concentration Thus, it has been found that more sugar is produced after saccharification. The biomass concentration is the solids concentration, which is the percentage of dry biomass relative to the total pretreatment reaction mixture on a mass to mass basis. |
