Fruit pomace-lignin as a sustainable biopolymer for biomedical applications

Previous studies have explored the potential of pomace valorization, with an emphasis on transformation polysaccharide biopolymers pomace-cellulose and hemicellulose to produce high-value bioproducts such as microcrystalline cellulose. Notably, opportunities for exploration biopolymer pomace-lignin its employment in biomedical applications tissue engineering not been comprehensively explored. There is, therefore, a need intervention highlight utilizing biomass resource. This review explores highlights some factors that hinder industrial utilization pomace-lignin. In addition, present covers lignin chemistry, extraction methods, depolymerization approaches, prospects applications. It is anticipated this will aid future decisions regarding preferred approaches valorization
