Abstract

The present invention concerns a production of liquefied lignocellulosic substrate by enzymatic reaction. 10% to 40% by weight dry matter of pre-treated lignocellulosic substrate is contacted, with water and enzymes at 0.1 to 60 mg of enzymes per gram of cellulose for a period of 1 to 24 hours. Over time, at least the value of one of the rheological characteristics of the reaction medium is measured. If a reduction of the value is detected over time, the following step a) is carried out:
