LIGNIN-KMC: A Toolkit for Simulating Lignin Biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yesACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2019
Lignin is an abundant biopolymer of phenylpropanoid monomers that is critical for plant structure and function. Based on the abundance of lignin in the biosphere and interest in lignin valorization, a more comprehensive understanding of lignin biosynthesis is imperative. Here we present an open-source software toolkit, LIGNIN-KMC,

Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-Bacterial, and Anti-Fungal Activity of Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins and Extracts Obtained from Lignocellulosic Agricultural Waste

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
It has now been proven that many pathogens that cause infections and inflammation gradually mutate and become resistant to antibiotics. Chemically synthesized drugs treating inflammation most often only affect symptoms, but side effects could lead to the

Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) Waste Biomass after Harvesting as a Source of Valuable Biologically Active Compounds with Nutraceutical and Antibacterial Potential

open access: yesPlants, 2022
For sustainable sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berry production, the task at hand is to find an application for the large amount of biomass waste arising at harvesting. Sea buckthorn (SBT) vegetation is currently poorly studied. The purpose of this

Analysis of lignin–carbohydrate and lignin–lignin linkages after hydrolase treatment of xylan–lignin, glucomannan–lignin and glucan–lignin complexes from spruce wood [PDF]

open access: yesPlanta, 2014
Xylan-lignin (XL), glucomannan-lignin (GML) and glucan-lignin (GL) complexes were isolated from spruce wood, hydrolyzed with xylanase or endoglucanase/β-glucosidase, and analyzed by analytical pyrolysis and 2D-NMR. The enzymatic hydrolysis removed most of the polysaccharide moieties in the complexes, and the lignin content and relative abundance of ...

Organosolv lignin aggregation behaviour of soluble lignin extract from Miscanthus x giganteus at different ethanol concentrations and its influence on the lignin esterification

open access: yesChemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, 2021
Background Lignin is the second most abundant naturally occurring biopolymer from lignocellulosic biomass. While there are several lignin applications, attempts to add value to lignin are hampered by its inherent complex and heterogenous chemical ...

A Comparative Assessment of Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) Pruning Waste as a Potential Source of Serotonin

open access: yesBioResources, 2023
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) twigs, remaining after harvesting and pruning, are an underutilized and little-explored biomass resource.

Recent advances in understanding the effects of lignin structural characteristics on enzymatic hydrolysis

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose for bioethanol production shows a great potential to remit the rapid consumption of fossil fuels, given the fact that lignocellulose feedstocks are abundant, cost-efficient, and renewable.
