Zusammenfassung:A system and method for generating a water-soluble mixture of oligosaccharides for facile conversion to fermentable sugars is provided. The method describes crushing, grinding, or both, a mixture of a cellulose feedstock and a solid acid catalyst, under pressure to induce a solid-solid interaction between the cellulosic feedstock and the solid acid catalyst to induce a chemical reaction to produce a grinded mixture, wherein the crusher assembly comprises rollers, introducing water to separate the grinded mixture into solids and a solution, wherein the solution comprises the oligosaccharides and enzymatically converting the solution to fermentable sugars.
