Overcoming cellulose recalcitrance in woody biomass for the lignin-first biorefinery

Overcoming cellulose recalcitrance in woody biomass for the lignin-first biorefinery

Abstract Background Low-temperature swelling of cotton linter cellulose and subsequent gelatinization in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) greatly enhance rates of enzymatic digestion or maleic acid–AlCl3 catalyzed conversion to hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and levulinic acid (LA). However, lignin inhibits...
