摘要:
Provided herein are aerogels and foams including: single structural cells and/or groups of structural cells derived from a plant or fungal tissue, the single structural cells having a decellularized 3D structure lacking cellular materials and nucleic acids of plant or fungal tissue; the single structural cells and/or groups of structural cells being distributed within a carrier derived from a dehydrated, lyophilized, or freeze-dried hydrogel. Also provided herein are methods for preparing aerogels or foams, including steps of: providing a decellularized plant or fungal tissue; obtaining single structural cells and/or groups of structural cells from the decellularized plant or fungal tissue by performing mercerization; mixing or distributing the single structural cells and/or groups of structural cells in a hydrogel, to provide a mixture; and dehydrating, lyophilizing, or freeze-drying the mixture to provide the aerogel or foam. Related methods and uses are also provided.
摘要:
A process for treatment of lignocellulosic biomasses with a process solvent selected from an eutectic solvent consisting of a hydrogen bond acceptor and of a hydrogen bond donor, an ionic liquid, and a mixture of the eutectic solvent and the ionic liquid, may include: A. mixing the biomasses with the process solvent and possibly separating insoluble cellulose residues and/or inorganic material; B. treating the possibly filtered process solvent solution from step A with water, thereby separating lignin; and C. separating hemicellulose from the mixture of the process solvent and possibly the water. Step C may be carried out by adding an organic solvent soluble in the process solvent and in the water, whereby hemicellulose precipitates and is subsequently separated with conventional techniques from a liquid phase comprising the process solvent, the organic solvent, and possibly the water.
摘要:
This invention aims to develop a process for fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass by contacting lignocellulosic biomass with treatment liquid in close system at temperature not over 200° C. and pressure of 5 to 20 bars, wherein said treatment liquid comprises water-miscible part that comprising formic acid, alcohol, and water and water-immiscible part that comprising alkyl acetate. The lignocellulosic biomass may be selected from rice straw, bagasse, corncobs, corn stem, palm waste, grass, pineapple shell, bamboo, or mixture thereof.

Food, consumer, and industrial product packaging materials are provided by embodiments of the present invention. Films and laminates based on a combination of negatively charged polysaccharides are provided as such packaging materials. The films can be prepared by mildly treating soft wood with steam followed by alkali extraction and enzymatic treatment. Negatively charged non-cellulosic polysaccharides are isolated with weight average molecular weight Mw higher than 10,000 g/mol and molecular structure comprising a xylan main chain substituted with more than 15 molar % of glucuronic acid and more than 5 molar % arabinose. The negatively charged non-cellulosic polysaccharides can be casted from water solution on a suitable carrier and surface acetylated or coated with acetylated polysaccharide to obtain oxygen and water barrier packaging laminate. Inventive packaging materials can have strength at break above 55 MPa, elongation to break above 2.5%, cohesive and adhesive properties and good oxygen and moisture barrier properties.

摘要:
This invention relates to novel clarified hydrocolloids which substantially retain the physical properties of unclarified hydrocolloids. The invention also pertains to a novel process for making the clarified hydrocolloids. A process of producing a hydrocolloid which, when hydrated, forms a clear sol comprising: (a) soaking a hydrocolloid containing material dispersed in water until the hydrocolloid is hydrated; (b) stirring the hydrated hydrocolloid until a homogenous particulate containing sol is obtained; (c) removing insoluble particulates to produce a clarified sol; (d) removing remaining particulates in the clarified sol by filtration; and (e) recovering the clarified hydrocolloid from the filtrate
