The combined effect of hot water (HW) and deep eutectic solvent (DES) on the solubilization of hemicellulose and lignin present in a lignocellulose mixture (rice straw, napier grass, and sugarcane bagasse in a 1:1:1 ratio) was investigated. The selected DES for present study included choline chloride (ChCl) with urea (U), glycerol (G), and lactic acid (LA) at a molar ratio of 1:2 w/w. The selection of different lignocellulosic biomass was made taking into account the similar percentage of hemicellulose and lignin. The hot water and DES pretreatment was performed with biomass loading of 1:10 w/v, 121 °C, 40 min. and 130 °C, 95 min, and 150 rpm, respectively. The HW-ChCl-LA resulted in 4.51-fold increase in cellulose digestibility at 72 h (20.63 ± 0.68% to 93 ± 3.62%). The FTIR spectrum for pretreated solids showed significant changes in the wavelength related to hemicellulose and lignin.
