Abstract: Sustainable production of biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass (LBM) is considered
one of the promising solutions to solve the current energy crisis caused by overreliance
on fossil fuels. Enzymatic hydrolysis is a crucial step in determining the efficient
conversion of biomass cellulose into biofuels as well as high value-added chemicals, and
it has the characteristics of efficient reaction, economy, and environmental friendliness.
With the advancement of enzyme engineering technology, enzymes have been endowed
with more functions, such as mixed substrate utilization, inhibitor resistance and specific
metabolism, called enzyme cocktails. This Paper introduces the typical procedure of enzymatic
hydrolysis of LBM and discusses their applications in hybrid LBM hydrolysis. In
addition, the challenges of enzymatic LBM hydrolysis and possible development directions
are outlined to guide integrated enzymatic strategies in biorefinery processes.
