Hemicelluloses and Lignin in Biorefineries cover

Hemicelluloses and Lignin in Biorefineries provides an understanding of lignocellulosic biomass, which is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin. It promotes the valorization of these molecules in the context of the bioeconomy and presents hemicelluloses and lignin, which are generated in lignocellulosic biorefineries, as the molecules of the future. The viability of these molecules lies in their renewability and potential. This book covers all aspects of hemicelluloses and lignin including structure, biosynthesis, extraction, biodegradation, and conversion. The book also looks ahead to the socioeconomic and environmental value of biobased industry and emphasizes an understanding of the potential of lignocellulosic biomass.

"The authors, internationally recognized experts in their field, provide a very valuable piece of work for those who want to discover the bioeconomy concept and how it is translated today when it comes to the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass. This book provides the scientific base needed to address the biorefinery concept. easily accessible to college students, and it also provides relevant references that will allow the reader to go deeper into the concepts."
—Florent Allais,AgroParisTech, France

"The table of contents is well organized, enabling the readers and/or the users to easily find the information they are looking for, but also to decide the chapters they want to read or share. I really want to have the book for my organization because it is a priority area of interest for us and also a fast-moving area."
— Philippe Mengal,Bio-Based Industries, Brussels, Belgium

"This is a very interesting book focusing on modern biorefineries. The reader will find precious information about bioeconomy and the bio-based programs developed in the USA and in Europe, but also about the molecular mechanism and the processes underlying biomass transformation. This lavishly illustrated book is a wonderful window on the world of hemicellulose and lignin biorefineries."
—Dimitri Gilis, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium

"Bio-economy through bio-refinery science and technology is going to sound the death knell for the conventional petroleum-based industry. Undoubtedly this book highlights the remarkable and unique benefits offered by bio-refinery of lignocelluloses and lignin."
—Philippe Dubois,University of Mons, Belgium

"Hemicelluloses and lignin are the promising feedstocks for a sustainable bioeconomy. This book gives a very detailed overview of the state of play of the synthesis, structure, degradation and possible valorization, and will be useful for students, academic and industrial scientists as well as other professionals who would like to know more about these feedstocks."
— Dirk Carrez,Bio-Based Industries, Brussels, Belgium
