    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a fermentation product from lignocellulosic material, comprising the following steps: a) optionally, pre-treatment of the lignocellulosic material, b) optionally, washing of the optionally pretreated lignocellulosic material, c) enzymatic hydrolysis of the optionally washed and/or optionally pretreated lignocellulosic material using an enzyme composition comprising at least two cellulases and whereby the enzyme composition at least comprises LPMO, and optionally purifying the hydrolyzed lignocellulosic material, d) fermentation of the hydrolyzed lignocellulosic material to produce a fermentation product, and e) optionally, recovery of a fermentation product, wherein oxygen is consumed in amounts corresponding to between 20 and 5000 mmol molecular oxygen per kg glucan present in the lignocellulosic material, the oxygen is added after the pretreatment and before and/or during the enzymatic hydrolysis of the lignocellulosic material, preferably in an amount corresponding to at least 30 mmol molecular oxygen per kg glucan present in the lignocellulosic material, more preferably in an amount corresponding to at least 40 mmol molecular oxygen per kg glucan present in the lignocellulosic material, and most preferably in an amount corresponding to at least 50 mmol molecular oxygen per kg glucan present in the lignocellulosic material is consumed.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a process for the preparation of a sugar product from lignocellulosic material, comprising the following steps: a) optionally, pretreatment of the lignocellulosic material; b) optionally, washing of the optionally pretreated lignocellulosic material; c) enzymatic hydrolysis of the optionally washed and/or optionally pretreated lignocellulosic material in a hydrolysis reactor using an enzyme composition comprising at least two cellulase; and d) optionally, recovery of a sugar product; wherein during the enzymatic hydrolysis oxygen-containing gas is added to the lignocellulosic material in the hydrolysis reactor and wherein part of the oxygen-containing gas, added to the lignocellulosic material, is gas originating from the headspace of the reactor, preferably during part of the time of the enzymatic hydrolysis less oxygen is added to the lignocellulosic material compared to the other part of the time of the enzymatic hydrolysis, or preferably during part of the time of the enzymatic hydrolysis no oxygen is added to the lignocellulosic material.
