  1. 1. Industrial applications and properties of oxalate-degrading enzymes

    Author : Sandra Winestrand; Leif J. Jönsson; Thomas Nilsson; Nils-Olof Nilvebrant; Gudmundur O. Hreggvidsson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oxalic acid; oxalate oxidase; oxalate decarboxylase; calcium oxalate; scaling; active packaging; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Oxalate-degrading enzymes were investigated with focus on potential applications in the pulp and paper industry and in active packaging. Changes introduced to make the pulp and paper industry more environmentally friendly, such as recirculation of process-water streams and elementary chlorine free bleaching of pulp, have led to increasing problems with precipitation of calcium oxalate.

  2. 2. Pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulose : formation and effects of pseudolignin

    Author : Monica Normark; Leif Jönsson; Sandra Winestrand; Torbjörn Lestander; Wilfred Vermerris; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pretreatment; enzymatic saccharification; ionic liquid; torrefaction; pseudolignin; Analytical Chemistry; analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : Production of advanced biofuels, green chemicals, and bio-based materials from renewable lignocellulosic biomass would contribute to decreased dependence on fossil resources and to sustainable development. The overall aim of the investigations was to explore how preprocessing and pretreatment technologies affected the chemical composition of cellulosic materials and their susceptibility to enzymatic saccharification, which is one of the major routes for biorefining of lignocellulose.
