Biopolymers of gellan gum (G), 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), and lignin (L)-based binary and ternary sustainable composites were prepared for food packaging and biomedical application. The composite films were flexible and transparent or translucent with slight brown in color. The incorporation of lignin considerably improved the thermal and mech...

Lignocellulosic biomass, which is one of the most abundant and renewable sources for the production of clean fuels and chemicals, consists mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The conversion of cellulose and hemi-cellulose to value added products has been extensively carried out over the last few decades. However, the direct conversion of...

Excess weight and obesity increase the risk of developing major risk factors for chronic kidney disease. Lignin comprises 20%-30% of the global plant biomass; however, it is not well utilized because of its resistance to chemical and biological degradation. We investigated whether low-molecular-weight oxidized lignophenol (LOLP), a lignin derivativ...

Emerging contaminants present a challenge for water preservation, threatening humans' health and all ecosystems. They consist of a variety of molecules ranging from pharmaceutical and personal care products to pesticides and endocrine disruptors detectable in wastewater, sewage effluent, surface water, drinking water, and ground waters at trace lev...

Lignin contributes to the rigid structure of the plant cell wall and is partially responsible for the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic materials to enzymatic digestion. Overcoming this recalcitrance is one the most critical issues in a sugar-flat form process. This study addresses the effect of low lignin sugarcane bagasse on enzymatic hydrolysis a...

This article has used lignin additive to improve the bitumen properties as well as the asphalt mixture performance. Therefore, Lignin added to the bitumen 60/70 in various weight percentage (3, 6, 9 and 12 percent). Then, its effect on various properties of bitumen, including penetration grade, softening point, ductility, viscosity, weight loss per...

Development of commercially relevant bioenergy switchgrass cultivars requires reducing recalcitrance for bioprocessing without compromising biomass yield. Low-lignin transgenic switchgrass has been produced via down-regulation of caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT), a lignin biosynthetic enzyme, or by over-expression of the MYB4 transcription f...

Main conclusionFive laccase genes are potentially involved in developmental lignification in the model C4 grass Setaria viridis and their different tissue specificities suggest subfunctionalization events.AbstractPlant laccases are copper-containing glycoproteins involved in monolignol oxidation and, therefore, their activity is essential for ligni...

BackgroundNAC (NAM/ATAF/CUC) is one of the largest plant-specific transcription factor (TF) families known to play significant roles in wood formation. Acting as master gene regulators, a few NAC genes can activate secondary wall biosynthesis during wood formation in woody plants.ResultsIn the present study, firstly, we screened 110 differentially ...

The influence of biomass macromolecular composition on its behaviour in torrefaction was statistically assessed through Principal Component Analysis (PCA), both in terms of solid conversion kinetics and volatile species released, in function of the operating conditions. The experimental data obtained in the torrefaction of 14 woody and agricultural...
