The antiradical and antimicrobial activity of lignin lignin-based films are both great interest for applications such as food packaging additives. polyphenolic structure in addition to the presence O-containing functional groups is potentially responsible these activities. This study used DPPH assays discuss HPMC/lignin HPMC/lignin/chitosan films. scavenging (SA) binary (HPMC/lignin) ternary (HPMC/lignin/chitosan) systems was affected by percentage added lignin: 5% showed highest 30% had...

Antioxidant activity is an essential aspect of oxygen-sensitive merchandise and goods, such as food corresponding packaging, cosmetics, biomedicine. Technical lignin has not yet been applied a natural antioxidant, mainly due to the complex heterogeneous structure polydispersity lignin. This report presents antioxidant capacity studies completed using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The influence purification on was investigated. procedure showed that double-fold selective...

Abstract The development of biorefineries is the key for access to an integrated production food, feed, chemicals, materials, goods, fuels and energy future. This communication considers green biorefinery combined with today's feed in agriculture. Special attention given combination physical biotechnological processes proteins as well platform chemicals such lactic acid lysine. Mass flows (steam electricity) are biorefining biomass produce proteins, biogas from residues.

Abstract The demand for biomass-derived fuels and fuel additives, particularly in the transportation sector, has stimulated intense research efforts chemistry of levulinic acid secondary products over past decade. Additionally, recent technological progress lignocellulosic feedstock (LCF) also increased attention this regard. As a result, several oxygenating additives with potential applications both gasoline diesel have been identified. Some chemicals, such as ethyl valerate, appear to be...

Abstract This study demonstrates that bio-based products of lignin depolymerisation can potentially replace common antioxidants and UV absorbers in the plastics cosmetics industries. The kraft Indulin AT was used to obtain low-MW monomers & oligomers rich phenolic hydroxyl groups. Both thermo-oxidative stability antioxidant activity significantly improved upon depolymerisation. results from oxidation induction time differential scanning calorimetry (OIT-DSC) 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl...
