The debate if acid or enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosics will prevail over the other in the near future is still open. Different types of acid hydrolysis (use of concentrated acids, or diluted acids, and in this case use of extreme temperatures, or attempts to realize semi-continuous or continuous processes) are described. Advantages and inconveniences are described for each case.However, only a limited margin for improvement is left to acid hydrolysis, compared to the enzymatic one. New microorganisms, new strains, and genetic engineering are actually improving classic enzymatic processes. Simultaneous hydrolysis and utilization of produced sugars will substantially modify current perplexities. A survey of the present trends is given.In any case, the utilization of lignocellulosics hydrolysis will be of commercial interest only if hemicellulose hydrolyzates and lignin find profitable employment. Considerable effort is being made in this direction by both the scientific and the technical community.
