Article Abstract
This paper evaluates five phenolic compounds as mediators for kenaf pulp biobleaching by laccase. The results have been compared with the treatment using a non-phenolic mediator, 1-hydroxybenzotriole and laccase alone. The influence of the nature of the chemical mediators used on various pulp properties is discussed. In addition to oxidizing lignin, the phenolic radicals formed in the process take part in condensation and grafting reactions in enzymatic stage. After biobleaching sequence (LP), syringaldehyde was shown to be the best phenolic mediator, allowing a delignification of 43% and 72% ISO brightness. These results were similar to the use of laccase alone due to the role as mediators of syringyl units resulting from oxidative lignin degradation. As a novelty, the study was supplemented with thermogravimetric analysis, with emphasis on the crystallinity degree of the cellulose surface and the aim of elucidating the action mechanisms of laccase-mediator systems on fiber.

The present work reports the biobleaching effect on OPEFB pulp upon utilisation of extracellular xylano-pectinolytic enzymes simultaneously yielded from ADI2. The impacts of different doses, retention times, pH, and temperatures required for the pulp biobleaching process were delineated accordingly. Here, the OPEFB pulp was subjected to pre-treatment with xylano-pectinolytic enzymes generated from the same alkalo-thermotolerant isolate that yielded those of higher quality.

Production of laccase from Ganoderma lucidum RCK 2011 under solid-state fermentation (SSF) conditions was optimized using response surface methodology, resulting in an approximate eightfold increase compared to that in the unoptimized media. Further, the enzyme produced under SSF as whole fermented substrate (in situ SSF laccase) was found to be more stable than the in vitro enzyme (harvested by downstreaming processing of fermented wheat bran). Interestingly, the biobleaching potentials of both in situ and in vitro SSF laccases were comparable, saving 25% chlorine dioxide for achieving similar pulp brightness as obtained in the pulp treated chemically.
