摘要
The current challenges in developing a cost-effective bioethanol industry include the production of not only high-volume, low cost biofuels but also high-value products with minimal downstream waste.The up-grading of side-stream lignins from bioethanol production plants to novel high-value products will improve the profitability of the bioethanol industry; to do that, a precise understanding of lignin is required.In the present study, ligninenriched fermentation residues from bioethanol production (steam explosion pretreatment, saccharification, and fermentation) of fastgrowing poplar and forage sorghum were characterized.In addition to the purity and composition, lignin structure (syringyl/guaiacyl (S/G) ratio, interunit linkages) was also analyzed with spectroscopy techniques such as Fourier transform infrared and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance.Bioethanol processing and feedstock origins seemed to be the main factors determining the purity, composition, and structure of lignins.Residual lignins from poplar and forage sorghum contained significant amounts of sugar and protein impurities.Poplar lignin showed a very high S/G ratio associated with p-hydroxybenzoate.A lower S/G ratio together with H lignin units and p-hydroxycinnamates (p-coumarate and ferulate) was observed for forage sorghum lignin.The main inter-unit linkages present in both lignins were β-O-4´ aryl ether followed by resinols and phenylcoumarans.
