What do the topics’ names stand for?

Each topic stands for a sequel of pretreatments that is described in the papers this topic features. Topics descriptions are available below:

• Bioref-PM: this topic gathers all control experiments from all papers stored in @Web; experiments featured need to include only one milling, followed by the enzymatic hydrolysis. It does not include a physico-chemical step but it can include a washing and separation step.

• Bioref-PM-PC-PS: this topic must contain experiments composed of a least one pre-milling step, then a physico-chemical treatment and a washing and filtration step (washing and separation) and finally the enzymatic hydrolysis step.

• Bioref-PM-PC-EX-PS: this topic must contain experiences composed of a pre-milling step, then a physico-chemical treatment and an extrusion treatment and finally a press and separation step (washing and filtration) followed by the enzymatic hydrolysis step.

• Bioref-PM-PC-UFM-PS: Experiments featured include a pre-milling step, then a physico-chemical treatment followed by an ultrafine milling step (often wet milling) and a press and separation step (washing and filtration) and finally the enzymatic hydrolysis step. This topic requires a press and separation step because there are a lot of effluents in the physico-chemical step or because the milling is made with effluents. The second milling step must give an Output solid constituent size smaller than 1 mm.

• Bioref-PM-PC-UFM: Experiments are composed of a pre-milling step, followed by a physico-chemical treatment and then an ultrafine milling step (ball milling) to finally end with the enzymatic hydrolysis step. This topic doesn’t require a step of press and separation because it’s a process with a low intake of effluent. The second milling step must give an Output solid constituent size smaller than 1 mm.
