“…Many pretreatment approaches have been developed as a result of intense research in the area, and some of the most effective methods have been validated at demonstration scale ( Galbe and Wallberg, 2019 ). Research on different raw materials has shown that the effectiveness of pretreatment is feedstock-dependent, and that the effects of a given method can diverge for different types of lignocellulosic biomass ( Martín, 2021 ). Low capital expenditures (capex) and operational expenditures (opex) are key criteria for industrially viable pretreatment methods.…”

Biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to advanced biofuels and other bio-based commodities typically includes physical diminution, hydrothermal pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification, and valorization of sugars and hydrolysis lignin. This approach is also known as a sugar-platform process. The goal of the pretreatment is to facilitate the ensuing enzymatic saccharification of cellulose, which is otherwise impractical due to the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic feedstocks. This review focuses on hydrothermal pretreatment in comparison to alternative pretreatment methods, biomass properties and recalcitrance, reaction conditions and chemistry of hydrothermal pretreatment, methodology for characterization of pretreatment processes and pretreated materials, and how pretreatment affects subsequent process steps, such as enzymatic saccharification and microbial fermentation. Biochemical conversion based on hydrothermal pretreatment of lignocellulosic feedstocks has emerged as a technology of high industrial relevance and as an area where advances in modern industrial biotechnology become useful for reducing environmental problems and the dependence on fossil resources.

“…Lignocellulosic biomass represents a practically infinite feedstock source for satisfying the demands of the industry, and could thus contribute to achieving a carbon-neutral future and alleviating the current threats related to climate change. In previous collections, we compiled relevant contributions on the chemistry and technology of lignocellulosic biomass [2] and on the bioconversion of crop residues to biofuels and other bio-based products [3]. With this Special Issue, we present a new collection of articles dealing with cutting-edge topics in the field of lignocellulosic biomass.…”

“…Currently, disposal by burning is one of the chief methods for coping with the accumulation of plant residues. However, this widespread practice is against sustainability principles, contributes substantially to air pollution [ 8 ], and results in a considerable waste of biomass resources that are highly valuable for generating materials, fuels, and chemicals of high economic and social value [ 9 ].…”

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is the residual biomass generated after harvesting the fruitbodies of edible/medicinal fungi. Disposal of SMS, the main by-product of the mushroom cultivation process, often leads to serious environmental problems and is financially demanding. Efficient recycling and valorization of SMS are crucial for the sustainable development of the mushroom industry in the frame of the circular economy principles. The physical properties and chemical composition of SMS are a solid fundament for developing several applications, and recent literature shows an increasing research interest in exploiting that inherent potential. This review provides a thorough outlook on SMS exploitation possibilities and discusses critically recent findings related to specific applications in plant and mushroom cultivation, animal husbandry, and recovery of enzymes and bioactive compounds.
