Evaluation of enzymatic pretreatment strategies to enhance anaerobic digestion of tomato waste
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Tomato residues are a form of solid waste that can be converted into methane through anaerobic digestion (AD). However, methane production is often limited due to incomplete hydrolysis caused by the high lignocellulosic content of tomato waste.
