Process for the preparation of oligosaccharides-containing products from biomass involving the use of hydrochloric acid for partly hydrolyzing biomass to easily fermentable oligosaccharides-containing products and easy recovery of the hydrochloric acid and the oligosaccharides containing products. The oligosaccharides-containing products themselves and use of the latter for the preparation of useful products like ethanol and penicillin by fermentation.
