Smriti Ale, Pramesh Dhungana, Janet Howieson, Rewati Raman Bhattarai
Abstract
Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass, such as cereal husks, disrupts structural bonds to improve enzyme accessibility and hydrolysis, supporting sustainable waste valorisation into fermentable sugars and value-added applications.
