Objective: To establish the UV spectrophotometry for determining lignin content in tiny Panax ginseng powder.
Methods: Classical Klason method and UV spectrophotometry were used.
Results: The lignin contents measured by UV spectrophotometry were higher, more repeatable and accurate as comparison with the Klason method. The specific absorptance peak of ginseng lignin appeared at 260 nm. The acetyl bromide treatment of the UV spectrophotometry was processed for ginseng powder at 70 degrees C for 30 minutes. It is also concluded that the lignin contents were obvious different among various ginsengs.
Conclusion: UV spectrophotometry is simple, accurate and just need a little materials. It is especially suitable to determine the lignin content for ginseng and other precious Chinese traditional medicines.

Kraft lignin (KL), a byproduct of the pulp and paper industry, is commonly combusted as a low-grade fuel. However, its high sulphur content results in the emission of sulphur oxides, which pose environmental hazards. This study explores a sustainable approach for the valorisation of waste KL into syngas via CO-mediated pyrolysis.

We report a facile fractionation strategy using choline hydroxide (ChOH) based alkaline deep eutectic solvents (DES) for whole-component upgrading of bagasse. Through selective lignin and xylan dissolution, along with extensive biomass swelling, high-value lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCC, with high β-O-4 bond content of 68.9/100 Ar) and high-purity xylan were extracted without compromising cellulose recovery and hydrolysis.

The growing pursuit of carbon circularity in material fabrication has led to the increased use of recycled and biobased resources, especially in epoxy resin systems. Fossil-based bisphenols are being replaced with recycled bisphenol A (r-BPA) and lignin derivatives, both derived from previous processes. In this study, r-BPA was chemically recycled from end-of-life televisions, then converted into r-DGEBA and r-DAGBA through glycidylation and acrylic acid ring-opening.

White rot fungi can degrade lignin and improve the nutritional value of highly lignified biomass for ruminants. We screened for excellent fungi-biomass combinations by investigating the improvement of digestibility of wheat straw, barley straw, oat straw, rapeseed straw, miscanthus, new reed, spent reed from thatched roofs, and cocoa shells after colonisation by Ceriporiopsis subvermispora (CS), Lentinula edodes (LE), and Pleurotus eryngii (PE) (indicated by increased in vitro gas production [IVGP]). First, growth was evaluated for three fungi on all types of biomass, over a period of 17 days in race tubes.
