Lignin is the most abundant source of renewable aromatics on Earth, yet its enormous
potential remains underexploited in current biorefinery and pulping processes. The …

In this study, a combination of microcosmic and chemical analysis methods was used to
investigate deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment effects on cell wall's micromorphology …

Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin molecules in poplar wood are interwoven to form a
dense network-like structure, which prevents their degradation into oligomers for the …

Chemical-free hydrothermal pretreatment of Miscanthus x giganteus (Mxg) at the lab scale
using high liquid-to-solid ratios resulted in the recovery of anthocyanins and enhanced …

Low-density wood produces composites with low dimensional stability, requiring a high
compaction ratio (CR) to produce an oriented strand board (OSB). This study evaluates the …

Lignocellulosic biomass is a highly sustainable and largely carbon dioxide neutral feedstock
for the production of biofuels and advanced biomaterials. Although thermochemical …

Sugars are precursors to the majority of the world's biofuels. Most of these come from sugar
and starch crops, such as sugarcane and corn grain. Lignocellulosic sugars, although more …

Background Cellulose degradation by cellulases has been studied for decades due to the
potential of using lignocellulosic biomass as a sustainable source of bioethanol. In plant cell …

Co-briquetting of coal fines and lignocellulosic biomass is a possible path for incorporating
biomass energy into the current coal-based infrastructure, although the cost and …

The effect of tissue-specific biochemical heterogeneities of lignocellulosic biomass on
biomass deconstruction is best understood through confocal laser scanning microscopy …
