Efficiently producing second-generation biofuels from biomass is of strategic significance
and meets sustainability targets, but it remains a long-term challenge due to the existence of …

Lignocellulosic biomass (LB) is an abundant and renewable resource from plants mainly
composed of polysaccharides (cellulose and hemicelluloses) and an aromatic polymer …

Plywood is widely used in construction, such as for flooring and interior walls, as well as in
the manufacture of household items such as furniture and cabinets. Such items are made of …

Heterogeneity and rigidity of lignocellulose causing resistance to its deconstruction have
provided technical and economic challenges in the current biomass conversion processes …

Enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose for bioethanol production shows a great potential to
remit the rapid consumption of fossil fuels, given the fact that lignocellulose feedstocks are …

The demands of energy sustainability drive efforts to bio-chemical conversion of biomass
into biofuels through pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, and microbial fermentation …

In this study, lignin blockers including non-catalytic protein and surfactants were employed
to promote enzymatic digestibility of pretreated poplars. Among them, Tween 80 exhibited …

Enzymatic hydrolysis is a critical process for the cellulase-mediated lignocellulosic
biorefinery to produce sugar syrups that can be converted into a whole range of biofuels and …

Lignin, a complex aromatic polymer in terrestrial plants, contributes significantly to biomass
recalcitrance to microbial and/or enzymatic deconstruction. To reduce biomass …

In this work, a mild and facile post-extraction using different reagents was evaluated to
overcome these recalcitrance for improving the enzymatic digestibility of acid-pretreated …
