This work it was proposed to evaluate the use of complementary enzymes (cellulase and pectinase) in the enzymatic process of hydrolysis-saccharification of the cassava fibrous waste for alcohol production. The results indicated that 63,42% of starch was hydrolyzed in the treatment without complementary enzymes, 89,55% in the treatment with the enzymes, 65,42% with the cellulase by complementary and 88,73% in the pectinase treatment. The pressing was efficacious for sugar recuperation and 10% of total sugar was retaining in the final fibrous residue. The pectinase was the better complementary enzyme enhance the yield.
