Deconstruction of the hemicellulose fraction from lignocellulosic materials into simple sugars

Hemicelluloses hold a great promise for the production of added-value compounds in the biorefinery framework. Specifically, the xylan-rich hemicelluloses from hardwoods and agro-industrial residues present themselves as effective feedstock choices for the biotechnological production of xylitol. This...
