Evaluation of alkaline pretreatment temperature on a multi-product basis for the co-production of glucose and hemicellulose based films from lignocellulosic biomass

► Glucose and hemicellulose based films produced from lignocellulosic biomass. ► Alkaline pretreatment temperature evaluated via glucose yields and film properties. ► Increasing pretreatment temperature did not significantly affect the glucose yield. ► Hemicellulosic part of the process more responsive to the pretreatment temperature. ► Hemicellulosic part of the process should influence the pretreatment temperature.
