Abstract
With the aim to provide a further insight into extrusion pretreatment, this work reviews its fundamentals and the influence of the most relevant operation variables (screw profile and speed, residence time, temperature, liquid to solid ratio and downstream operations) on extrusion performance, analyzed according to the existing bibliography. To complete this overview, the effects of extrusion on lignocellulosic biomass structure, composition and enzymatic digestibility are studied, with a focus on the performance of catalyzed extrusion.
