The crucial segment in the process of the conversion of lignocellulose into biofuels and high value-added chemicals is the efficient lignocellulose hydrolysis to afford soluble sugars for subsequent fermentation. From the perspective of environmental protection, enzymatic hydrolysis is an effective way to lignocellulose degradation completely without environmental pollution, furthermore, this method has got widely attention because of its advantages, such as lower sugar loss, fewer by-products and mild conditions. Due to the complex compositions and structures of cellulose and some drawbacks of cellulase itself, such as poor stability, short lifetime and low activity, which make low efficiency and high cost of enzymatic saccharification. Scholars from all over the world have carried out researches in many aspects about how to improve the efficiency of lignocellulose enzymatic saccharification.The latest processes of both theoretical and technological research in recent years were summarized. The influences of pretreatment of lignocellulose, cellulase production strains and technology, cellulase complex and recombination, cellulase additives, cellulase immobilization, external fields, recycling and reuse of cellulase were reviewed, and the prospects on lignocellulose enzymatic saccharification in the future were also presented.
