The effects of adding trace acids in ethanol based organosolv treatment were investigated to increase the enzymatic digestibility of Japanese cypress. A high glucose yield (60 % ) in the enzymatic hydrolysis was obtained by treating the sample at 170 ¡ãC for 45 min in 50 % ethanol liquor containing 0.4 % hydrochloric acid. Moreover, the enzymatic digestibility of the treated sample was improved to ¡«70 % by changing the enzyme from acremonium cellulase to Accellerase1500. Field emission scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of lignin droplets and partial cellulose nanofibers on the surface of the treated sample. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of the treated samples using thermotolerant yeast (Kluyveromyces marxianus NBRC1777) was tested. A high ethanol concentration (22.1 g/L) was achieved using the EtOH50/W50/HCl0.4-treated sample compared with samples from other treatments.
