What is it about?
The chemical composition of lignocellulosic residues (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin), as well as its renewable nature, show the potential of this material to produce value-added compounds as low-cost enzymes for use in various industrial sectors. An appropriate choice for the production of low-cost enzymes is the use of lignocellulosic residues, which contain soluble carbohydrates that can be used as inducers of enzymatic synthesis. However, the depolymerization of lignocellulosic components through various treatments (chemical, physical, physicochemicals, and biological) is necessary for the efficient production of enzymes.

Why is it important?
This book chapter addresses the chemical composition of lignocellulosic residues and their various treatments that allow for obtaining value-added products, mainly enzymes. The main types of industrial enzymes, their application in several technological areas, and their market in the world are also addressed.
Perspectives
A book chapter and a review article, are essential since these publications show the reader a profile of world scientific development. This opens up perspectives for studies and collaborations. Writing this manuscript was pleasurable due to the interactions and, consequently, the exchange of ideas.
