Abstract

Sweetened liquors are obtained from a cellulose-containing vegetable substrate by a process comprising two essential steps: PA1 (a) treating the vegetable substrate with an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid alone or in admixture with sulfuric acid, and PA1 (b) thereafter effecting enzymatic hydrolysis of the resultant treated substrate to recover additional reducing sugars.
