Effect of Hydrothermal Pretreatment on Lignin and Antioxidant Activity

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Hydrothermal Processing in Biorefineries

Abstract

The influence of the hydrothermal processing of lignocellulosic materials on the solubilization of the phenolic fractions is reviewed. Special attention is deserved to autohydrolysis, since this an environmentally friendly technology requiring water as the only reagent. Considerations for the selection of the major variables affecting the performance of this hydrolytic process are presented according to the severity factor and discussed regarding the solubilized phenolic products and their antioxidant properties. Examples on the fractionation of different waste materials are presented.
