Hydrothermal treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of Tamarix ramosissima: Evaluation of the process as a conversion method in a biorefinery concept

► Tamarix ramosissima is an interesting raw material for oligosaccharide production. ► Liquid fractions and solid residues were thoroughly analyzed. ► Hydrothermal treatment intensity affected the concentration of digestibility was directly associated with surface area and pore volume. ► The proposed process can be a contribution to develop a forest-based biorefinery.
