Chemical alteration of banana pseudostems by white rot fungi [PDF]
, 2014 The ability of fungi to degrade lignocellulosic materials is due to their highly efficient enzymatic system. However, many of these fungi have the ability to not only depolymerize and metabolize lignin but also to degrade cellulose and hemicellulose ...

Pulping characteristics of Pinus caribaea from Fiji: The effect of rate of growth [PDF]
, 1977 Samples of Pinus caribaea Mor. var hondurensis Barr. and Golf. from Drasa and Seaqaqa in Fiji were sub-divided so that they represented the fastest and slowest growth rate on each site. It was found that the fast growing trees yielded approximately twice

Determination of surface-accessible acidic hydroxyls and surface area of lignin by cationic dye adsorption [PDF]
, 2014 A new colorimetric method for determining the surface-accessible acidic lignin hydroxyl groups in lignocellulose solid fractions was developed. The method is based on selective adsorption of Azure B, a basic dye, onto acidic hydroxyl groups of lignin ...

Challenges in lignin valorization during biomass hydrogenolysis for ethylene glycol production
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 1, Page 268-279, January/February 2026.Abstract This study examined the extent to which lignin upgrading is possible when maximizing ethylene glycol (EG) production during the hydrogenolysis of lignocellulosic biomass over bifunctional tungsten–nickel catalysts. Reductive catalytic fractionation (RCF) was selected as a benchmark lignin valorization process because its reaction conditions ...

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.ABSTRACT It is well established that changes in climatic conditions across Alpine environments have influenced tree‐growth at altitudes close to the tree line. Less well known is the impact that increasing proportions of glacial melt water, which may accompany increasing temperatures and otherwise drier conditions during warmer summers, have on the ...

Cationization of Corncob Holocellulose as a Paper Strengthening Agent
BioResources, 2015 In this paper, milled corncob powder was treated with sodium chlorite to remove lignin, and the resulting holocellulose was optionally modified with cationic agent. The derivative product was investigated using elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influences of the dosage of the

Evaluation of Banana Pseudostem Fibres for Packaging Material Development
Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 91-103, January 2026.Composites were developed from banana pseudostem fibres, extracted from a thermomechanical method to produce pulp, which was subsequently hot‐pressed with gum arabic to form fibreboards intended as sustainable packaging material. ABSTRACT The present study investigated composites prepared from banana pseudostem fibres (BF) and gum arabic (GA), in ...
