Abstract: Different response between woody core and bark of goat willow biomass to concentrated phosphoric acid pretreatment prior to enzymatic saccharification was investigated as changes of chemical compositions, carbohydrate compositions, and crystallinity of cellulose before and after pretreatment. Goat willow has different chemical composition between bark and woody core, higher polysaccharides content in woody core as 74.6% compared with 61.0% in bark. In bark, hydrophobic and hydrophilic extractives contents was 20.4% compared with 8.1% in woody core.
