Water retention value (WRV) and thermoporometry profiles of unrefined and refined pretreated sugarcane bagasse after PFI and disc refining at different intensity levels. a The water retention value. b The cumulative distribution of freezing bound water as a function of pore diameter on a log scale with base of 10. c The porosity indexes in two different ranges of pore diameter derived from the freezing bound water (FBW) profile: FBW in pores < 4 nm and pore area associated with pores > 10 nm. Curves and results are the average of triplicates
