Abstract
⺠The chemical compositions of kapok fiber were changed after pretreatments. ⺠The impact of pretreatment on chemical composition was varied by the pH of medium. ⺠Pre-treatments significantly improved the enzymatic hydrolysability of kapok fiber. ⺠Alkaline pretreated fiber approached the maximum yield of reducing sugar production. ⺠Kapok fiber has high potential to be a new bio-resource for bioethanol production.
