Fractionation of softwood and hardwood LignoBoost kraft lignins, using sequential extraction with organic solvents increasing hydrogen-bonding ability (dichloromethane, n-propanol, methanol), was carried out. Using SEC, analytical pyrolysis, FTIR UV/VIS spectroscopy, chemical methods, four fractions were obtained characterized in terms their yield, composition, functionality, lignin structural features, antioxidant properties. In tests free radicals (ABTS●+, DPPH●, O2●-) the ORAC (oxygen...
