Small-sized biorefineries as strategy to add value to sugarcane bagasse

- Three alternatives of small-sized biorefinery of sugarcane bagasse were developed.
- Optimum autohydrolysis conditions of xylans were determinate (162 °C, 1.99 h).
- Economic analysis to obtain of xylose syrup, furfural and xylitol were performed.
- Xylose syrup and MDF production is the most profitable alternative.
