Hydrolysis parameters, such as acid concentration and treatment time were varied and highest total sugar concentration obtained was 16.84 g L1 including 6.31 g L1 glucose when 0.2 mol L1 H2SO4 was added to coffee pulp and the mixture heated at 100 C for 240 min (Urbanejaet al., 1996). Initial concentration of coffee pulp was not provided, the recovery rate, however, was 64% of total sugar.
