tools.•Presentation of approaches to valorize lignin market value.•Introduction of novel …

The energy in cellulosic biomass largely resides in plant cell walls. Cellulosic biomass is
more difficult than starch to break down into sugars because of the presence of lignin and …

Lignin, a phenolic polymer in the secondary wall, is the major cause of lignocellulosic
biomass recalcitrance to efficient industrial processing. From an applications perspective, it …

Lignocellulosic feedstocks can be converted to biofuels, which can conceivably replace a
large fraction of fossil fuels currently used for transformation. However, lignin, a prominent …

Lignocellulose polysaccharides are encrusted by lignin, which has long been considered an
obstacle for efficient use of polysaccharides during processes such as pulping and …

The digestibility of plant biomass has a major influence on its value as a forage for livestock
and as a feedstock for industrial biotechnology. For both processes, the concentration …

Lignin is an aromatic biopolymer involved in providing structural support to plant cell walls.
Compared to the other cell wall polymers, ie, cellulose and hemicelluloses, lignin has been …

With the increased use of agro-chemicals in the last two decades it has become crucial to
find alternative chemicals that are less harmful to the environment and humankind. One …
