The new pretreatment approach uses ammonia (NH 3 ) to reorganize the hydrogen bond network within cellulose, resulting in up to a 5-fold increase in saccharification rates. This, in turn, significantly reduces the tightness of the cellulose network and leaves it more vulnerable to conversion into sugar by fungi-derived cellulolytic enzymes.
