Integrated hydrothermal and microbial valorization of almond shells into xylooligosaccharides and cellobionic acid
Almond shells are abundant lignocellulosic by-products with great potential for sustainable valorization. This study developed an integrated biorefinery process to produce xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and cellobionic acid (CBA) through hydrothermal pretreatment and fungal simultaneous saccharification and fermentation.
