The study demonstrates the ionic liquid pretreatment for lignocellulosic materials like corn husk and coconut husk in order to optimize the yield of glucose recovery. Two ionic liquids: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BmimCl) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EmimOAC) were studied. The pretreated materials were enzymatically hydrolyzed using Celluclast 1.5L and Novozymes 188. It was found that the optimum pretreatment condition for corn husk and coconut husk were accomplished using EmimoAc at the temperature of 130°C and duration of 2 hours, resulted in the maximum glucose recovery at 68.2 and 62.8%, respectively. In addition, using ionic liquid pretreatment could decrease the lignin content in corn husk and coconut husk structures for 9.2 and 14.6%, respectively.
