Abstract
Pretreatment of residual biomass is one of the key elements in integrated conversion processes such as biorefineries. Biotechnology projects rely heavily on the efficient, technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of pretreatments. Pretreatment is a unitary operation that precedes a certain process, and it is not itself the ultimate goal of the activity. Nevertheless, the inclusion of this step increases the efficiency of subsequent processes by increasing accessibility to the primordial biomass structure, facilitating access to enzymes and reagents used in the development of high added-value products.
