This review presents recent advances regarding biomass-based nanomaterials, focusing on
their surface interactions. Plant biomass-based nanoparticles, like nanocellulose and lignin …

Efficient saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass requires concerted development of a
pretreatment method, an enzyme cocktail and an enzymatic process, all of which are …

Xylan and cellulose are abundant polysaccharides in vascular plants and essential for
secondary cell wall strength. Acetate or glucuronic acid decorations are exclusively found on …

Background Many agricultural and industrial food by-products are rich in cellulose and
xylan. Their enzymatic degradation into monosaccharides is seen as a basis for the …

In cellulose-to-ethanol processes a physico-chemical pretreatment of the lignocellulosic
feedstock is a crucial prerequisite for increasing the amenability of the cellulose to enzymatic …

Polysaccharides are finding an increasing number of applications in medical and
pharmaceutical fields thanks to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and in some cases …

As one of the most abundant polysaccharides on Earth, xylan will provide more than a third
of the sugars for lignocellulosic biofuel production when using grass or hardwood …

The interaction between cellulose and xylan is important for the load-bearing secondary cell
wall of flowering plants. Based on the precise, evenly spaced pattern of acetyl and …

Dilute acid as well as water only (hydrothermal) pretreatments often lead to a significant
hemicellulose loss to soluble furans and insoluble degradation products, collectively termed …

Xylan comprises up to one‐third of plant cell walls, and it influences the properties and
processing of biomass. Glucuronoxylan in Arabidopsis is characterized by a linear β‐(1, 4) …
