Culled tomato (CT, damaged products during harvesting and products not suitable as food, such as products with mold) and VTPW were kindly supplied by Albaida Residuos S.L. (Almería, Spain). These residues had 95.0% and 45.7% moisture content, respectively. Both CT and VTPW were subjected to different biomass fractionation process for sugar recovery according to Section 2.2 and Section 2.4. In the particular case of VTPW, before further processing, the biomass was dried at 40 °C until 10% moisture and milled to 4 mm particle size using a Retsch ZM200.

A small fraction of each raw material was taken for biomass characterization according to Section 2.6.
