Lignin, which makes up about one-third of biomass, hinders reactions with cellulose and hemicellulose. Using Pycaret, 19 machine learning models were tested, with the Extra Trees Regressor providing the best predictions. SHAP analysis was applied to interpret the model results. The findings highlight the potential of machine learning to optimize the delignification process, opening avenues for more efficient and eco-friendly methods in biofuel and chemical production.
