Impact of lignin polymer backbone esters on ionic liquid pretreatment of poplar

Abstract Background Biomass pretreatment remains an essential step in lignocellulosic biofuel production, largely to facilitate the efficient removal of lignin and increase enzyme accessibility to the polysaccharides. In recent years, there have been significant efforts in planta to reduce lignin co...
