Vibratory ball milling is shown to have a strong influence on the shape of FT-IR spectra of
wood and cellulose, even if the samples are milled for only a short time. The results show …

Over the past four decades, there has been immense progress in every area of lignin
science, ranging from the enzymology of lignin biodegradation, to the delignification of wood …

The objective of this chapter is to provide a concise overview of lignin composition and
structure in different species and materials (wood, barks and nonwood plants). It includes a …

The yellowing and IR-changes of spruce wood as a result of UV-irradiation were studied
using two different types of xenon lamps (λ> 300 nm; Io= 50 mW cm− 2 and λ> 280 nm; Io …

Genetic parameters were estimated for wood and growth traits in two 19-yr-old clonal trials
and a 40-yr-old full-sib progeny trial of Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.]. In the clonal …

Background There is an increasing demand for renewable resources to replace fossil fuels.
However, different applications such as the production of secondary biofuels or combustion …

The enzymatic digestibility of ammonia fiber explosion (AFEX)-treated rice straw was
modeled by statistically correlating the variability of samples to differences in treatment using …

In this study, a model for prediction of lignocellulose components of agricultural residues has
been developed with Fourier Transformed Near Infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy data. Two …

Abstracts The objective of this study is to improve aqueous solid/liquid extraction of the
polyphenols contained in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) bark by the use of pulsed …

Olive pomace is a phytotoxic by-product in the olive oil production. Lignin is a biopolymer
present in the olive pomace in remarkable percentages, which has a great variety of …
