“…Generally, CSF is a parameter that has been used mainly in liquid hot water pretreatment and autohydrolysis (steam explosion) (Montané, Farriol, Salvadó, Jollez, & Chornet, 1998). Nowadays, CSF is also applied to evaluate and optimize acid-catalyzed ethanol organosolv pretreatment (Chum, Johnson, & Black, 1990;Gandolfi, Ottolina, Consonni, Riva, & Patel, 2014;Jang et al, 2016). The optimal CSF varies with the types of biomass, and, typically, the CSF selected is from 1.0 to 2.5 to get good cellulose recovery and improve the enzymatic digestibility.…”
