Feedstock pretreatment strategies for producing ethanol from wood, bark, and forest residues (2008, background): “Publications have shown that these pretreatment methods have been attracting much more effort (Brandes and Graff 1985; Broglin 1996; Chandra et al. 2007; Galbe and Zacchi 2007; Saddler et al. 1993; Singh et al. 2004).”
Impact of hot compressed water pretreatment on the structural changes of woody biomass for bioethanol production (2011, background): “The initial characteristics of the woody biomass and the effect of subsequent pretreatment play significant roles in the development of substrate properties, which in turn govern the efficacy of enzymatic hydrolysis (Chandra et al. 2007).”

The promising future of microalgae: current status, challenges, and optimization of a sustainable and renewable industry for biofuels, feed, and other products (2018, methodology): “Depending on the purpose of pretreatment, chemical, biological, thermochemical, or thermophysical methods are used, sometimes in combination [105, 106].”
Pretreatment technologies for an efficient bioethanol production process based on enzymatic hydrolysis: A review. (2010, background): “…example, alkaline-based pretreatment methods such as lime, ammonia fiber explosion (AFEX), and ammonia recycling percolation (ARP), can effectively reduce the lignin content of agricultural residues but are less satisfactory for processing recalcitrant substrate as softwoods (Chandra et al., 2007).”
Ionic liquid‐mediated selective extraction of lignin from wood leading to enhanced enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis (2009, background): “that serve as the ‘‘glue’’ that binds cellulose and hemicellulose, imparting rigidity, and moisture and microbial resistance to lignocellulose (Chandra et al., 2007).”
