The Microwave pre-treatment includes technologies that utilise physical processes to induce thermal and non-thermal effects that drive physical, chemical or biological reactions[1]. The technology is usually utilised to break down the structure of lignocellulosic biomass leading to the release of different substances (e.g. fermentable sugar).
