Figure S.1 gives the linear regression according to KAS and Friedman methods for pure pseudo-components.

Fig. S.1: Linear regression according to KAS method (left) for a) cellulose, b) hemicellulose and c) lignin and according to Friedman method (right) for d) cellulose, e) hemicellulose and f) lignin.

Table S.1 shows all kinetic parameters and correlation coefficient for all isoconventional method (KAS, Friedman and OFW). OFW results are shown only in Supplementary materials.
