Resumo(s)

"Lignocellulose is the main component of all plant materials, primarily composed of three biopolymers: lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. While cellulose and hemicellulose are widely used as renewable sources, lignin often remains a low-value by-product despite being the most abundant source of phenolics. All lignocellulose components, including lignin, must be fully valorized to make the biorefinery concept feasible and sustainable. Lignin can be transformed into value-added products, including vanillin, the most used flavor and fragrance globally.(...)."
