Process Optimization of Steam Explosion Parameters on Multiple Lignocellulosic Biomass Using Taguchi Method—A Critical Appraisal

Xylitol is a low calorie sweetener that can be produced through a bioconversion approach from lignocellulosic biomass that requires pre-treatment prior to the bioconversion of xylose to xylitol. Steam explosion (SE) is an industrially scalable pre-treatment (PT) process with the potential to liberat...
