Stabilization strategies in biomass depolymerization using chemical functionalization

Jeremy Luterbacher, Ydna Marie Questell-Santiago

A central feature of most lignocellulosic-biomass-valorization strategies is the depolymerization of all its three major constituents: cellulose and hemicellulose to simple sugars, and lignin to phenolic monomers. However, reactive intermediates, generally ...

Aldehyde-Assisted Fractionation Enhances Lignin Valorization in Endocarp Waste Biomass

Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Jean Thierry C Behaghel de Bueren, Graham Reid Dick, Raymond Gérard Buser, Chloé Wegmann

Endocarp biomass, which forms much of the inedible portion of nuts and stone fruits, is a promising feedstock for aromatic chemical production due to its high lignin content and because it is a food industry waste. Here, we tested the nut shells and fruit ...
