2017 journal article

Lignocentric analysis of a carbohydrate-producing lignocellulosic biorefinery process

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY, 241, 857–867.

By: R. Narron n, Q. Han n, S. Park n , H. Chang n & H. Jameel n

author keywords: Autohydrolysis; Autohydrolyzate; Sugar recovery; Enzymatic digestibility; Non-condensed lignin
MeSH headings : Biomass; Bioreactors; Carbohydrates; Hydrolysis; Lignin; Oxidation-Reduction
TL;DR: It was found that raw hardwoods bearing increasing non-condensed S/V ratios render increasing total carbohydrate recovery from hardwood biomasses, indicating that the chemical structure of hardwood lignin influences the investigated biorefinery process' ability to generate carbohydrates from a given raw hardwood feedstock.
