Lignin is a class of complex organic polymers that form key structural materials in the support tissues of most plants. Lignins are particularly important...

The term "lignin characterization" (or "lignin analysis") refers to a group of activities within lignin research aiming at describing the characteristics...

In enzymology, a lignin peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 1,2-bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propane-1,3-diol + H2O2...

Lignin-modifying enzymes (LMEs) are various types of enzymes produced by fungi and bacteria that catalyze the breakdown of lignin, a biopolymer commonly...

which connect many of the constituents of lignin. Sulfonated lignin (SL) refers to other forms of lignin by-product, such as those derived from the much...

both digest a tree's cellulose and hemicellulose but not its lignin; white rot digests lignin as well. The residual products of decomposition from fungal...

leave most of the lignin with the fibers, whereas kraft pulping removes most of the lignin present originally in the wood. Low lignin is important to the...

The Kappa number is an indication of the residual lignin content or bleachability of wood pulp by a standardized analysis method. The Kappa number is determined...

the unwanted lignin, but not the cellulose fibres. In the biopulping process, the fungal enzyme lignin peroxidase selectively digests lignin to leave remaining...

lignin(MWL), formaldehyde-protected lignin (FPL) and acetone-protected lignin adhesives that were prepared with lignins separated under either mild conditions...
