Enzymatic hydrolysis is a critical process for the cellulase-mediated lignocellulosic
biorefinery to produce sugar syrups that can be converted into a whole range of biofuels and …

Deep eutectic solvent (DES) has caught widely attention of researchers in biomass
pretreatment. As a highly efficient surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was …

This study reported that surfactants could facilitate the organosolv pretreatment of
lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) to produce fermentable sugars and highly active lignin. Under …

The potential of green solvents, specifically deep eutectic solvents (DESs), has piqued the
interest of researchers in the field of lignocellulose pretreatment. To enhance the enzymatic …

Organosolv pretreatment effectively fractionates lignocellulosic biomass for efficient
enzymatic hydrolysis, yielding fermentable sugars. However, substantial lignin redeposition …

Pretreatment is the crucial step in the biorefinery process for the bioconversion of
lignocellulosic biomass to value-added products. Among various chemical pretreatment …

Pretreatment is a prerequisite to tackle the issue of biomass recalcitrance, which is the major
hindrance of lignocellulose-to-sugars routes. In the present study, a novel combination of …

This study investigated an innovative strategy of incorporating surfactants into alkaline-
catalyzed glycerol pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis to improve lignocellulosic biomass …

Surfactant-assisted pretreatment has been widely reported to improve the enzymatic
hydrolysis of lignocellulose by promoting removal of xylan and lignin. Hence, this work …
