Multiproduct biorefinery from vine shoots: Bio-ethanol and lignin production

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of different assayed severities on the subsequent enzymatic saccharification of the remaining solids was evaluated and it was observed that the successive stages of processing to which the vine shoots were submitted provoked chemical and structural changes in the extracted lignins.
