Harnessing carbon potential of lignocellulosic biomass: advances in pretreatments, applications, and the transformative role of machine learning in biorefineries

This comprehensive review examines how agricultural and forestry waste containing lignocellulose can be transformed into valuable products like biofuels, packaging materials, and medical supplies. The paper covers various treatment methods to break down the tough plant material structure and highlights how artificial intelligence can improve these processes. By utilizing this abundant waste resource efficiently, we can reduce environmental pollution, generate renewable energy, and create useful products while supporting a circular economy approach.

Biorefining spent substrates of shiitake (Lentinula edodes) and oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus): enzymatic saccharification of cellulose and xylan, with lignin recovery from residues

This research explores how to turn leftover mushroom growing material into useful products. After mushrooms are harvested, significant waste remains that contains valuable sugars and lignin. The study found that shiitake mushroom waste is naturally easier to break down into sugars than oyster mushroom waste, and they developed methods to extract high-purity lignin from the leftovers. This approach could help mushroom farmers reduce waste while creating valuable materials for biofuels and other products.
