Structural characterization of the lignin-carbohydrate complex in biomass pretreated with Fenton oxidation and hydrothermal treatment and consequences on enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency

In this study, lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) were isolated from biomass (raw and pretreated) to investigate the structural changes in biomass pretreated by Fenton oxidation and hydrothermal treatment, and their effect on enzymatic hydrolysis.
