The feedstocks in the lignocellulosic waste are represented by three types of biopolymerscellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which are each complex and can lead to numerous valueadded platform chemicals. Cellulose can be used for production of intermediates such as sorbitol, furans, alcohols by hydrolysis via glucose monomeric units. 78 Hemicellulose on the other hand contains repeating C5 sugars, such as xylose, which can be used to produce xylitol, furfural, or ethanol (through fermentation). Value-added intermediates from both cellulose and hemicellulose include levulinic acid, glutamic acid, glucaric acid, itaconic acid, succinic acid, glycerol and 3-hydroxybutyrolactone. For the production of aromatic value-added molecules such as vanillin, catechol and cinnamic acid, lignin is most suited as it is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer. 4 Therewith criteria ( ) is also fulfilled.
