Cellulase development aims to enhance the bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass such as empty fruit bunches (EFB) that resists enzymatic hydrolysis due to its complex structure.

Factors that affect the hydrolysis in the ionic liquid-cellulase (IL-E) system was investigated using one-factor at a time (OFAT) and reducing sugar obtained as the response to the study. It was found that the biomass could be loaded up to 35% (w/v) and agitation has influenced the rate of reducing sugar production where increasing the speed was associated with higher concentration. Higher IL concentration in the combined system caused lower enzymatic activity and hence, less sugar was produced.
