Pre-treatment is a crucial and the most energy-intensive step for successful valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass in a biorefinery. This study provides systematic comparisons of the biomass fractionation and physiochemical changes of oak and pine...

Cacao pod husk (CPH) is a potential source of phenolic-based antioxidants and lignocellulosic compounds. Sample pretreatments and extraction conditions were investigated to understand their effects on extraction yields and implications for industrial...
