A series of room temperature ionic liquids (ILs), in which cholinium acts as the cation and amino acids as the anions, were prepared via a simple and green chemical route, and characterized. Most of the ILs dissolved lignin efficiently and selectively (with solubilities of 140–220 mg of lignin per g of IL). The solubility of xylan in these ILs (which ranged from <1 to 85 mg g−1) depended on the nature of the anion, while cellulose was scarcely soluble (<5 mg g−1). In addition, enzymatic hydrolysis of microcrystalline cellulose and rice straw was enhanced significantly after pretreatment using the IL [Ch][Gly].

In one aspect, the present invention provides methods for preparing a fermentation product. The methods include pre-treating a mixture of biomass and ionic liquid, wherein the ionic liquid comprises a choline cation and the biomass comprises polysaccharide and lignin. The methods further include forming hydrolysates from the introduction of glycoside hydrolase to the pre-treated mixture at conditions sufficient to produce a sugar composition mixture for fermentation steps. The present invention provides methods for loading biomass mixtures in a batch-fed process, wherein the biomass slurries can be loaded into water or a concentrated sugar composition for hydrolysate production. The methods can be performed in a one-pot process, wherein the ionic liquids are present in the mixtures throughout each step. Aspects of the invention provide compositions of sugar composition mixtures and fermentation product mixtures.
