High consistency enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated sugarcane bagasse was studied under some modifications of the usual procedures. At the end of the project, a five-step method was proposed: an enzymatic adsorption followed by a separation of solids; a first hydrolysis of the separated bagasse, another solid/liquid separation and new hydrolysis on the solid. This modified process resulted in hydrolysate with glucose concentration as high as 144 g/L.
