Article Synopsis
- Short-chain xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), specifically xylobiose (X2) and xylotriose (X3), have higher biological activities and are desirable to produce in larger quantities.
- The research employed pH-controlled lactic acid hydrolysis and xylanase treatment on xylan extracted from moso bamboo, achieving a notable increase in XOS yield from 33.1% to 64.1%, with X2 and X3 forming 91.0% of the final product.
- Additionally, deep eutectic solvent pretreatment efficiently removed 87.2% of lignin, leading to a high glucose yield of 96.9% from the residual biomass after

Article Synopsis
- Efficient enzymatic hydrolysis is essential for producing high concentrations of monosaccharides and ethanol, but lignin and acetyl groups in poplar hinder this process.
- The study utilized hydrogen peroxide-acetic acid for delignification and sodium hydroxide for deacetylation, successfully removing 81.9% of lignin and all acetyl groups.
- This method led to the highest reported yields of monosaccharides (318.1 g/L) and ethanol (114.9 g/L) from poplar, demonstrating effectiveness at relatively low temperatures.

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes have proliferated across Europe and other parts of the world in recent years and have contributed to increasing material and energy recovery from waste streams. Currently, EPR schemes do not provide sufficient incentives for moving towards the higher levels of the waste hierarchy, e.g.

Unit loads consisting of a pallet, packages, and a product securement system are the dominant way of shipping products across the United States. The most common packaging types used in unit loads are corrugated boxes. Due to the great stresses created during unit load stacking, accurately predicting the compression strength of corrugated boxes is critical to preventing unit load failure.
