- Abstract:
- ... Lignin constitutes up to one-third of the material found in plant cell walls and is considered the second most abundant natural polymer in the world. Despite unique characteristics of lignin, it is mostly used for low-value commercial applications. In this study, lignin obtained after alkaline treatment of steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse was submitted to an acidification process. The soluble frac ...

- Abstract:
- ... Characteristic phenylpropenoids are a quality marker to distinguish rhizome and root of authentic Rhodiola rosea L. from other Rhodiola species. A consistent content in line with pharmacopoeial requirements is one objective of increasing cultivation to satisfy the worldwide demand. We set out to compare the influence of harvest season and age on total rosavins (ROStot) and their aglycon cinnamyl a ...

- Abstract:
- ... Radiation pretreatment of lignocellulosics has been widely applied for the breakdown of the stubborn cellulose structure to enable the cellulose to be more accessible to cellulolytic enzymes. However, the effects of gamma irradiation on the lignocellulosics structure changes and the composition of pretreatment degradation products are not well understood. In this study, the influences of irradiati ...
