An effective pretreatment is the first step to enhance the digestibility of lignocellulosic
biomass–a source of renewable, eco-friendly and energy-dense materials–for biofuel and …

The native form of lignocellulosic biomass is resistant to enzymatic breakdown. A well-
designed pretreatment that can promote enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass with reasonable …

Cost effective pretreatment is key to commercial success of use of lignocellulosic material
(LCM) as feedstock for production of bioethanol. The seasonal nature and annual variability …

Effective pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is one of the most important steps in
biorefinery, ensuring the quality and commercial viability of the overall bioprocess. Lignin …

Biomass pretreatment for depolymerizing lignocellulosics to fermentable sugars has been
studied for nearly 200 years. Researches have aimed at high sugar production with minimal …

Ammonia-based pretreatments have been extensively studied in the last decade as one of
the leading pretreatment technologies for lignocellulose biorefining. Here, we discuss the …

Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the potential feedstocks to produce second‐generation
cellulosic ethanol and biochemicals. To enhance the enzymatic digestibility of …

Lignin offers structural support and protection for plant cell walls; however, it also contributes
to biomass recalcitrance and the costs of biofuel production via the biological pathway …

Lignocelluloses are rich sugar treasures, which can be converted to useful commodities
such as biofuel with the help of efficient combination of enzymes and microbes. Although …

This work presents the application of ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX) pretreatment both
