Guaiacyl and Syringyl Lignin Composition in Hardwood Cell Components

چکیده
Vessels White oak cell types, fibers, rays, and vessels, were isolated from high-yield chemimechanical, neutral Rays sulphite semichemical (NSSC), and kraft pulps. Milled wood lignins (MWL) from NSSC fiber and ray Fibers cell fractions analyzed by ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy were found to have similar syringyl/ Cell wall guaiacyl ratios. Methoxyl analyses of MWL’s were also similar and, upon comparison to the methoxyl Middle lamella contents of their Klason lignins and of Klason lignins from pulp fractions, it was found that the Hardwoods methoxyl analyses of the Klason lignins from wood and pulp fractions were representative of actual Milled wood lignins lignin methoxyl content. A middle lamella enriched lignin fraction was obtained by refining of the Nitrobenzene oxidation fibers; cell wall lignin-enriched fractions were obtained by selective removal of middle lamella lignin Methoxyl by oxygen and acid chlorite as shown by ultraviolet microscopy. These lignin fractions had similar High-yield pulp methoxyl contents indicating the relatively uniform syringyl/guaiacyl ratio of lignin in different Absorption spectra (UV, IR) morphological regions. Methoxyl analysis of intact vessels isolated from an oak NSSC pulp gave White oak unambiguous proof of the syringyl/guaiacyl nature of hardwood vessel lignin. The occurrence of typical syringyl/guaiacyl ratios throughout the wood was also indicated for birch and ash.

Phenolization of hardwood sulfuric acid lignin generated as byproduct in bioethanol production system
In the bioethanol production process via acid saccharification, a large amount of acid hydrolysis lignin is yielded as a byproduct. In this study, the behavior of hardwood sulfuric acid lignin (SAL), which is a typical acid hydrolysis lignin, during phenolization to convert into functional materials is investigated. We compared the product yield, average molecular weight, methoxy content, and r...

Pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed on milled wood lignins (MWLs) and wood samples. Among the major pyrolysis products identified from loblolly pine lignin were guaiacol, 4-methylguaiacol, 4-vinylguaiacol, vanillin, coniferal dehyde, and coniferyl alcohol. White oak lignin pyrolysis products also included guaiacol, 4-methylguaiacol, and vanillin and addi tionally 2,6-...
متن کاملLignification of Sheepgrass Internodes at Different Developmental Stages and Associated Alteration of Cell Wall Saccharification Efficiency
Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis) is a high-quality cool-season forage crop used as pasture and hay for livestock feeds. The presence of lignin in cell walls, however, impairs forage digestibility of such lignocellulosic feedstock. Here, the structural characterization and cell wall composition of sheepgrass internodes were studied, and a progressive increase in cell wall lignification was observed...
متن کاملDepolymerization of Lignin in Wood with Molecular Hydrogen Iodide
Depolymerization of lignin in wood with hydrogen iodide in a nonpolar solvent is a selective, high-yield reaction that releases a diiodide of potential synthetic value into the solution. Finely milled wood (Douglas-fir, spruce, aspen, and sugarcane), was suspended in CDCl3 and treated with dry hydrogen iodide in a NMR tube. The yields and composition of the chloroform-soluble monomeric lignin d...
