木质素可用作水泥减水剂、水泥助磨剂、沥青乳化剂、钻井泥浆调节剂、稠油降粘剂、三次采油用表面活性剂、染料分散剂和吸附材料等[3-4]。
在当前石油资源日益枯竭和环境污染不断加剧的情况下,由于木质素富含芳香族官能团,未来有望成为芳香族化合物的主要来源之一[5]。
高沸醇木质素是利用高沸醇溶剂(HBS)法制备纸浆过程中获得的木质素[6-7]。
高沸醇溶剂法是纸浆制备的新工艺,具有无污染、节能等特点,是目前国内外对木质素研究的重要课题之一。
由于高沸醇溶剂法制浆所提取的木质素受到的结构破坏较小,基本上保持了木质素的大部分活性基团,如羧基、酚羟基和醇羟基等。
与从传统造纸废液中提取的碱木质素相比,高沸醇木质素具有灰分含量少、化学反应活性高等优点。
有机溶剂预处理溶剂修饰木质素英文回答:Organic Solvent Pretreatment for Solvent Modification of Lignin.Organic solvent pretreatment is a promising technique for the modification of lignin, with the aim of improving its solubility, reactivity, and functionality for various applications. Unlike traditional aqueous-based pretreatments, organic solvent pretreatments utilize non-polar or partially polar solvents to selectively dissolve lignin while preserving the cellulose and hemicellulose components of biomass.There are two main types of organic solvent pretreatments:1. Organosolv Pretreatment: This method involves the use of a mixture of organic solvents, such as ethanol,methanol, or acetone, with water to dissolve lignin. The solvent mixture is typically heated under pressure to enhance the extraction of lignin.2. Ionic Liquid Pretreatment: Ionic liquids are non-polar or partially polar salts that are liquid at room temperature. They have the ability to dissolve both polar and non-polar compounds, including lignin. Ionic liquid pretreatment involves the direct dissolution of biomass in the ionic liquid, followed by separation of the dissolved lignin.The choice of organic solvent or ionic liquid used in the pretreatment depends on several factors, including the type of biomass, the desired lignin properties, and the specific application. The pretreatment conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and reaction time, also play a crucial role in determining the efficiency and selectivity of the process.Organic solvent pretreatment can modify lignin in several ways:Removal of Impurities: Organic solvents caneffectively remove impurities from lignin, such as extractives, lipids, and proteins, which can interfere with lignin processing and applications.Fractionation: Organic solvent pretreatment can fractionate lignin into different molecular weight fractions. This allows for the selective isolation oflignin fractions with specific properties, which can be tailored for different applications.Functionalization: Organic solvents can react with lignin to introduce new functional groups, such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, and carbonyl groups. These functional groups can enhance the solubility, reactivity, and compatibility of lignin with other materials.Advantages of Organic Solvent Pretreatment:Improved lignin solubility and reactivity.Reduced formation of inhibitory compounds.Fractionation of lignin into different molecular weight fractions.Introduction of new functional groups.Applications of Modified Lignin:Biofuels and bioproducts.Carbon fiber precursors.Adhesives and coatings.Biocomposites.中文回答:有机溶剂预处理对溶剂改性木质素的影响。

Lignin is one of the main components of lignocellulose biomass cell walls and therefore developing high value-added products from lignin will greatly improve the economic efficiency in recycling biomass to energy. This paper reviewed the advantages of the auto-catalytic ethanol refining technology. Compared with other pulping technology,it can not only separate highly active lignin from lignocellulose biomass feedstock,but also attain high-value co-products,for instance the furfural,oligosaccharide,levulinic acid,formic acid and acetic acid,etc. Simultaneously,the extracting liquor can be recycled. In the review,based on the characteristics of auto-catalytic ethanol refining lignocellulose biomass feedstocks,we introduced the advantages of high value application of highly active lignin separated from the lignocellulose biomass via autocatalytic ethanol refining. Furthermore,the utilizations of products prepared from the lignin were reported,which provides a new way in large scale development and utilization of lignocellulose biomass lignin in industries.Key words:ethanol refining; auto-catalytic; lignocellulose biomass; ethanol-lignin; high-value utilization纤维素、半纤维素、木质素构成了丰富的可再生植物纤维资源。

Lignin Composition and Structure in Young versus Adult Eucalyptus globulus Plants1Jorge Rencoret,Ana Gutie´rrez,Lidia Nieto,J.Jime´nez-Barbero,Craig B.Faulds,Hoon Kim,John Ralph,A´ngel T.Martı´nez,and Jose´C.del Rı´o*Instituto de Recursos Naturales y Agrobiologı´a de Sevilla,Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientı´ficas, E–41080Seville,Spain(J.Rencoret,A.G.,J.C.d.R.);Centro de Investigaciones Biolo´gicas,Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientı´ficas,E–28040Madrid,Spain(L.N.,J.J.-B.,C.B.F.,A.T.M.);and Departments of Biochemistry and Biological Systems Engineering and Department of Energy Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center,University of Wisconsin,Madison,Wisconsin53706(J.Rencoret,H.K.,J.Ralph)Lignin changes during plant growth were investigated in a selected Eucalyptus globulus clone.The lignin composition and structure were studied in situ by a new procedure enabling the acquisition of two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D-NMR)spectra on wood gels formed in the NMR tube as well as by analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.In addition,milled-wood lignins were isolated and analyzed by2D-NMR,pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry,and thioacidolysis.The data indicated that p-hydroxyphenyl and guaiacyl units are deposited at the earlier stages,whereas the woods are enriched in syringyl(S)lignin during late lignification.Wood2D-NMR showed that b-O-4#and resinol linkages were predominant in the eucalypt lignin,whereas other substructures were present in much lower amounts. Interestingly,open b-1#structures could be detected in the isolated lignins.Phenylcoumarans and cinnamyl end groups were depleted with age,spirodienone abundance increased,and the main substructures(b-O-4#and resinols)were scarcely modified.Thioacidolysis revealed a higher predominance of S units in the ether-linked lignin than in the total lignin and,in agreement with NMR,also indicated that resinols are the most important nonether linkages.Dimer analysis showed that most of the resinol-type structures comprised two S units(syringaresinol),the crossed guaiacyl-S resinol appearing as a minor substructure and pinoresinol being totally absent.Changes in hemicelluloses were also shown by the2D-NMR spectra of the wood gels without polysaccharide isolation.These include decreases of methyl galacturonosyl,arabinosyl,and galactosyl (anomeric)signals,assigned to pectin and related neutral polysaccharides,and increases of xylosyl(which are approximately 50%acetylated)and4-O-methylglucuronosyl signals.Plant cell walls are composed mainly of three struc-tural polymers,the carbohydrates cellulose and the hemi-celluloses and the aromatic polymer lignin.The lignin polymer provides mechanical support to the plant.In addition,it waterproofs the cell wall,enabling trans-port of water and solutes through the vascular system, and plays a role in protecting plants against patho-gens.Lignin is a complex polymer synthesized mainly from three hydroxycinnamyl alcohols differing in their degree of methoxylation:p-coumaryl,coniferyl,and sinapyl alcohols(Higuchi,1997;Boerjan et al.,2003;Ralph et al.,2004a).Each of these monolignols gives rise to a different type of lignin unit called p-hydroxy-phenyl(H),guaiacyl(G),and syringyl(S)units,re-spectively,when incorporated into the polymer.The amount and composition of lignins vary among taxa, cell types,and individual cell wall layers and also with environmental conditions.Softwood lignin con-sists almost exclusively of G-type lignin,while hard-wood lignin also consists of S units(H units being minor components).After their synthesis,the lignin monomers are transported to the cell wall,where they are polymerized in a combinatorial fashion by free radical coupling mechanisms in a reaction mediated by peroxidases and/or laccases,generating a variety of structures and linkages within the polymer(Boerjan et al.,2003;Ralph et al.,2004a).Wood(secondary xylem)is produced seasonally at the periphery of the trunk by the vascular cambium(De´jardin et al.,2010). Lignin deposition is one of thefinal stages of xylem cell differentiation and mainly takes place during secondary thickening of the cell wall.Lignification starts in the middle lamella and cell corners and proceeds toward the lumen,filling up pores in the al-ready deposited polysaccharide network(Donaldson, 2001;Boerjan et al.,2003).The relative abundance of the different linkages formed depends on the relative1This study was supported by the Spanish project AGL2005–01748,the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientı´ficas(project nos.200640I039and201040E075),the European Union projects BIORENEW(grant no.NMP2–CT–2006–026456),WALLESTER (grant no.PIEF–GA–2009–235938),and LIGNODECO(grant no.

Hu et al.,2006;Balakshin et al.,2008).Because lignin is intimately interpenetrating the other major compo-nents(cellulose and hemicelluloses),it is obvious that its truly native form can only be studied by analytical methods applicable directly on the whole plant mate-rial.For this purpose,in this paper,the wood samples were analyzed in situ by two-dimensional(2D)-NMR spectroscopy and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(Py-GC-MS).The use of these techniques avoids isolation procedures that may lead to partial or modified polymer extraction.For in situ NMR analy-ses,a recent approach has been developed that con-sists of swellingfinely ground plant material in deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO-d6;Kim et al., 2008;Rencoret et al.,2009)or DMSO-d6:pyridine-d5 (4:1;Kim and Ralph,2010)and forming a gel directly in the NMR tube,which is readily amenable to NMR analysis.Heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC)NMR of these gels has been shown to be an efficient method for the rapid in situ analysis of lignin in plants without the need of prior isolation.The method requires only low amounts of sample and can be used for rapid characterization of the major struc-tural features of plant lignins(i.e.interunit linkages and H-G-S composition),also providing information on the hemicellulose polysaccharides.Py-GC-MS is another powerful tool for the in situ characterization of plant constituents,especially lignin(Ralph and Hatfield,1991;Rodrigues et al.,1999;del Rı´o et al., 2005;Rencoret et al.,2007).Wood lignin is pyrolyzed to produce a mixture of relatively simple phenols,which result from cleavage of ether and certain carbon-carbon linkages.These phenols retain their substitu-tion patterns from the lignin polymer,and it is thus possible to identify compounds from the H,G,and S lignin units.The aim of this paper is to elucidate the changes produced in the composition and structure of the lignin in eucalypt wood with maturation and includes analyses of young plants and adult trees.This knowl-edge is important not only for providing additional insight into the mechanisms of lignin deposition but also for the industrial processing of wood for pulp, chemical,or biofuel production,as the lignin compo-sition and structure greatly influence the delignifica-tion reactions(Gonza´lez-Vila et al.,1999;del Rı´o et al., 2005).For this purpose,samples of Eucalyptus globulus wood from the same clone(to avoid genetic variations within species)were collected at different stages of growth(1month,18months,and9years)and the composition and structure of their lignins were thor-oughly investigated.A combination of the above-mentioned2D-NMR and Py-GC-MS of whole wood samples was used for the in situ study of lignin changes.In order to obtain further insights into their structures and compare with the results from the in situ analyses,MWL was also isolated from the differ-ent woods and analyzed by NMR,pyrolysis,and thioacidolysis.As far as we know,this is thefirst report describing in situ structural analyses of wood lignin during tree growth using a combination of2D-NMR and other techniques.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONAfter a general analysis of wood composition in E. globulus plants of different ages(young and adult trees from a clonal plantation),the changes in lignin(and hemicellulose)during growth were analyzed in situ by a combination of Py-GC-MS and2D-NMR of whole wood,and the results were compared(and comple-mented)with those obtained from lignins(MWL) isolated from the same samples.Wood Composition during Eucalypt GrowthThe contents of the main wood constituents(i.e.ace-tone extractives,water-soluble material,Klason lignin, acid-soluble lignin,crystalline cellulose,amorphous glucan,xylan,arabinan,galactan,mannan,rhamnan, fucan,total uronic acids,and ash)in the selected E. globulus clone at different stages of growth are sum-marized in Table I.The total lignin content(Klason lignin plus acid-soluble lignin)increased during growth(from16%in the1-month-old sample to25% in the9-year-old wood),whereas the content of other constituents(namely acetone extractives,water-soluble material,and ash)decreased with maturity.Interest-ingly,there is also a great variation in the composition of polysaccharides(from neutral sugar analysis)dur-ing maturation,with a depletion of Ara,Gal,and Man and a progressive enrichment of Xyl.The amount of crystalline cellulose has the highest content(37%)after 18months,while that of amorphous glucan was lower and showed a progressive increase during growth. Finally,the uronic acid content was the highest after 1month(7%)and showed only a moderate decrease during growth.Variations in the uronic acid natureRencoret et al.during growth are discussed after the NMR analyses below.Py-GC-MS of Whole Woods and Their Isolated Lignins Py-GC-MS,although not a fully quantitative tech-nique,has been successfully used to analyze the relative H-G-S composition of lignin in different hard-woods,including eucalypt wood(Rodrigues et al., 1999;Yokoi et al.,1999,2001;del Rı´o et al.,2005; Rencoret et al.,2007,2008).Pyrograms from the euca-lypt wood samples after different growth periods and their corresponding MWLs are shown in Figures1and 2,and the identities and relative molar abundances of the released lignin-derived compounds are listed in Table II.The pyrolysis of the different eucalypt woods re-leased both carbohydrate-and lignin-derived com-pounds.Among the latter,guaiacol-and syringol-type phenols,derived from the G and S lignin units,were identified,including guaiacol(compound2),4-vinyl-guaiacol(8),syringol(11),4-methylsyringol(14),4-vinyl-syringol(22),4-allylsyringol(25),trans-4-propenylsyringol (32),syringaldehyde(34),and trans-sinapaldehyde (49).In addition,significant amounts of compounds derived from H lignin units,such as phenol(1), methylphenols(3and4),and dimethylphenol(6), could be detected after pyrolysis of the youngest wood,although some of them can also derive from polysaccharides(Ralph and Hatfield,1991).The H-G-S composition of the lignin in the different woods, obtained from the molar areas of all the lignin-derived compounds,is shown in Table II.In all samples,the S-type phenols were released in higher abundances than the respective G-type phenols,with a S-G ratio ranging from1.4in the youngest wood to3.8in the oldest wood.The amount of H-type compounds from the youngest wood(9%)decreases during maturation(to only2%in the oldest wood).This indicates that H units are depositedfirst,followed by G and then S units,in agreement with previous microautoradiogra-phy and microspectroscopy studies in other plants (Terashima et al.,1986).An increase of lignin S-G ratio with plant maturity has also been reported after Py-GC-MS of nonwoodyfibers(Mazumder et al.,2005). This difference in timing of monolignol deposition would also be responsible for the within-tree variation of the S-G ratio observed in Eucalyptus camaldulensis wood(Ona et al.,1997;Yokoi et al.,1999).Pyrolysis of the MWLs isolated from the different E. globulus woods(Fig.2)released a similar distribution of lignin-derived compounds as from their respective woods,although the content of H units was lower (Table II).This is especially evident in the case of the MWL isolated from the1-month-old wood.However, we must note that MWL may reflect only the most accessible part of the native lignin in the plant,which may be depleted in highly condensed H lignin units. In any case,the same trend observed in the pyrolysis of woods,which indicates an increase of S lignin units and a decrease of H and G lignin units with maturity, was also observed in the pyrolysis products of MWL, supporting the in situ analysis and confirming a monolignol deposition order of H,G,and then S during E.globulus lignification.2D-NMR of Wood Gels and Their Isolated LigninsThe eucalypt wood samples from different growing periods were analyzed by2D-NMR(in the gel state)to overcome the drawbacks associated to polymer isola-tion,namely low yield and artifact formation,and the spectra were compared with those from the lignins (MWL)isolated from the same woods.The HSQC spectra of the different woods,and their MWLs,are shown in Figures3and4.Carbohydrate signals were predominant in the spectra of the whole wood.They included correlations in the range d C/d H 60to85/2.5to5.5,which partially overlapped with lignin signals,and the well-resolved anomeric corre-lations in the range d C/d H90to110/3.5to6.0.How-ever,lignin signals were also clearly observed in the HSQC spectra,including that of the youngest wood with the lowest lignin content.On the other hand,the spectra of the MWL presented mostly lignin signals that,in general terms,matched those observed in the HSQC spectra of the woods.Lignin and carbohydrate contours in the HSQC spectra were assigned by comparison with the litera-ture(A¨mma¨lahti et al.,1998;Ralph et al.,1999,2004b; Capanema et al.,2001,2004,2005;Balakshin et al.,2003, 2005;Liitia¨et al.,2003;Ha et al.,2005;Golovchenko et al.,2007;Ibarra et al.,2007a,2007b;del Rı´o et al., 2008,2009;Kim et al.,2008;Rencoret et al.,2008,2009; C¸etinkol et al.,2010;Kim and Ralph,2010;Ralph and Landucci,2010).The main lignin correlation assign-ments are listed in Table III,and the main lignin substructures found in the different eucalypt woods are depicted in Figure5.The assignments of the main carbohydrate signals are listed in Table IV.Table I.Abundances(%)of the main constituents of E.globuluswood at different growth stagesConstituents1Month18Months9YearsAcetone extractives8.60.50.6Water-soluble extracts 6.6 1.4 2.2Klason lignin13.017.519.8Acid-soluble lignin 2.7 5.2 4.7Cellulose(crystalline)25.036.729.9Glucan(amorphous)11.415.016.2Xylan12.214.017.1Arabinan 3.80.90.8Galactan 2.7 1.2 1.5Mannan0.90.40.4Rhamnan0.70.40.5Fucan0.30.10.1Uronic acids7.4 5.9 5.8Ash 4.60.70.4Lignin in Young and Adult Eucalypt PlantsSide Chain Region of the HSQC Spectra:Analysis of Interunit Linkages in LigninThe side chain region of the spectra gave useful information about the interunit linkages present in lignin.All the spectra showed prominent signals corresponding to b-O-4#ether units(substructure A). The C a-H a correlations in b-O-4#substructures were observed at d C/d H71to72/4.7to4.9ppm,while the C b-H b correlations were observed at d C/d H84/4.3and 86/4.1ppm for substructures linked to G and S units, respectively.The C g-H g correlations in b-O-4#sub-structures were observed at d C/d H59/3.4and3.7ppm, partially overlapped with other signals.In addition, strong signals for resinol(b-b#)substructures(B)were observed in all spectra,with their C a-H a,C b-H b,and the double C g-H g correlations at d C/d H85/4.7,54/3.1, and71/3.8and4.2,respectively.Phenylcoumaran (b-5#)substructures(C)were also found,although in lower amounts,the signals for their C a-H a and C b-H b correlations being observed at d C/d H87/5.5and54/ 3.5,respectively,and that of the C g-H g correlation overlapping with other signals around d C/d H63/3.7. Finally,small signals corresponding to spirodienone (b-1#/a-O-a’)substructures(D)could also be ob-served in the spectra,their C a-H a,C a#-H a#,C b-H b, and C b#-H b#correlations being at d C/d H82/5.1,87/4.4, 60/2.8,and79/4.1,respectively.Other small signals observed in the side chain region of the HSQC spectra corresponded to C b-H b correlations(at d C/d H84/5.2) of b-O-4#substructures bearing a C a carbonyl group (F)and the C g-H g correlation(at d C/d H62/4.1)as-signed to p-hydroxycinnamyl alcohol end groups(I). The HSQC spectra of the isolated MWL also reflected the same side chain signals observed in the spectra of the whole woods,although they were better resolved and some new signals were observed.These included small signals corresponding to C b-H b correlations(atdC/d H55/2.8)of conventional open b-1#substructures (E;Lundquist,1987)that were observed only in the MWL spectra.Some aliphatic(nonoxygenated)cross-signals appeared in the d C/d H10to40/0.5to2ppm region(not included in Fig.4),which were especially abundant in the1-month sample and couldincludecutin-like material(Deshmukh et al.,2005)or other polymethylenic structures.Aromatic Region of the HSQC Spectra:Analysis ofLignin UnitsThe main cross-signals in the aromatic region of the HSQC spectra corresponded to the aromatic rings of the different lignin units.Correlations from S,G,and H lignin units could be observed in the spectra of whole wood and their MWLs.The S lignin units showed a prominent signal for the C2,6-H2,6correlation at d C/d H 104/6.7,while the G units showed different correlations for C2-H2(d C/d H111/7.0),C5-H5(d C/d H115/6.7and 7.0),and C6-H6(d C/d H119/6.8).Signals corresponding to C2,6-H2,6correlations in C a-oxidized S lignin units(S#) were observed at d C/d H107/7.3and107/7.2.Signals of H lignin units at d C/d H115/6.7and128/7.2for C3,5-H3,5 and C2,6-H2,6respectively,were only detected in the HSQC spectra of the youngest wood sample(1month), in agreement with the higher presence of H units shown by Py-GC-MS.An extra and well-resolved sig-nal was also detected at d C/d H109/7.1in this sample (in both wood and MWL)that was tentatively assigned to a G-type structure.Olefinic cross-signals of fatty acid structures with one/two double bonds,similar to those from oleic acid(d C/d H130/5.3)and linoleic acid(d C/d H 128/5.3and130/5.3),were also identified(Fig.4).They probably originate from the cutin-like structures men-tioned in the previous section.The cross-signal of pyridine used to form the wood gels was also observed (d C/d H around124/7.3).Summary of Changes in Lignin Structure as Revealedby2D-NMRThe relative abundances of the H,G,and S lignin units,and those of the main interunit linkages(re-ferred to as per100aromatic units and as a percentage of the total side chains),calculated from the HSQC spectra of the whole woods and of their respective MWLs,are shown in Table V.The H-G-S composition and the S-G ratio(ranging from1.2in the youngest wood to3.3in the oldest one)are in closeagreementwith the data obtained by Py-GC-MS,indicating a decrease of H and G units and an increase of S lignin units during lignification.The content of H lignin in the isolated MWL was lower than in the respective wood samples,as already observed by Py-GC-MS.With respect to the different linkage types,all the lignins showed a predominance of b-O-4#units(A and F;69%–72%of total side chains)followed by b-b# resinol-type units(B;16%–19%)and lower amounts of b-5#phenylcoumaran-type(C;1%–5%)and b-1#spiro-Table II.Identification and relative molar abundance(%)of the lignin-derived compounds identified in the Py-GC-MS of

samples,ranged from 1%to 2%.Some interesting information could be obtained from the wood NMR data.First,it is clear that the changes in monolignol availability during growth influence not only the unit composition but also af-fect the abundances of some interunit linkages.For example,despite the relative percentage of the b -O -4#linkages remaining relatively constant with growth,their abundances per aromatic unit slightly increases (from 46to 50linkages per 100aromatic units),and the same happens with the b -b #resinol-type structures (which increase from 10to 12linkages per 100aro-matic units),probably as a consequence of the increase of S units.Interestingly,the ratio between theabun-Figure 3.HSQC NMR spectra (d C /d H 45–135/2.5-8.0ppm)of the E.globulus wood samples at different growth stages after forming a gel in DMSO-d 6:pyridine-d 5(4:1).See Table III for lignin signal assignment and Figure 5for the main lignin structures identified.The assignments of the carbohydrate signals are listed in Table IV.Figure 4.HSQC NMR spectra (d C /d H 45–135/2.5-8.0ppm)of the MWLs isolated from the E.globulus wood samples at different growth stages.See Table III for lignin signal assignment and Figure 5for the main lignin structures identified.Olefinic cross-signals of unsaturated fatty acid structures (U F )were also identified.Lignin in Young and Adult Eucalypt Plantsdances of b-O-4#and b-b#resinol-type structures seems to remain more or less constant along lignifica-tion.The spirodienone-b-1#ratio also increased during growth(from0.8to3.2).In contrast,the abundance of phenylcoumaran structures decreases with lignifica-tion,which is most probably related to the decrease in G lignin observed.On the other hand,a small but continuous oxidation of the C a of the lignin side chain (from one to four C a oxidized b-O-4#linkages per100 aromatic units)occurs during lignification,probably as a result of wood aging.Finally,the abundance of cinnamyl alcohol end groups decreases with lignifica-tion,as also observed by Py-GC-MS.Hemicellulose PolysaccharidesThe HSQC spectra also reveal differences in the carbohydrates present in eucalypt wood after the different growth periods,which are observed in two differentiated regions of the spectra:the aliphatic-oxygenated region and the region corresponding to the anomeric correlations(Fig.3).The aliphatic-oxy-genated region shows strong signals from carbohy-drates,including naturally acetylated hemicelluloses. Among them,signals from O-acetylated xylans(3-O-acetyl-b-D-xylopyranoside[X#3]and2-O-acetyl-b-D-xylopyranoside[X#2])and,at the earlier stages of growth,O-acetylated mannans(2-O-acetyl-b-D-man-nopyranoside[M#2])were observed.Other signals in this region correspond to C2-H2,C3-H3,C4-H4,and C5-H5correlations of xylans(b-D-xylopyranoside[X2,X3, X4,and X5]),which overlap with unassigned cross-signals of other pentose and hexose polysaccharide units(note that crystalline cellulose is practically“in-visible”in the HSQC spectra of the wood gels due to its reduced mobility),and the C4-H4correlation for 4-O-methyl-a-D-GlcUA(U4).However,the main differences are observed in the carbohydrate anomeric region of the spectra,which have been depicted in detail in Figure6.The main C1-H1correlation signals in this region,which are listed in Table IV,were assigned according to Kim and Ralph (2010),together with some additional references for pectin(Ha et al.,2005;Golovchenko et al.,2007, Hedenstro¨m et al.,2008).Cross-signals from arabinans (Ar1and Ar1(T)),mannans(M1),galactans(Ga1),xylans (X1,a X1(R),and b X1(R)),and glucans including non-crystalline cellulose(Gl1),as well as signals from O-acetylated mannans and xylans(M#1and X#1)and from the4-O-methyl-a-D-glucuronic(U1)and galact-uronic(UGA1)acids(the latter forming part of pectin as the methyl ester)are readily apparent and well resolved in this region of the spectra.A small signal ofa-Rha(R1)units was also observed,especially in the 18-month-old wood.Interestingly,the signals of arab-inans,mannans,and galactans,which are observed inTable III.Assignments of the lignin13C-1H correlation signals in the HSQC spectra of E.globuluswood at the different growth stages and their isolated MWLsLabels d C/d H AssignmentppmC b53.5/3.46C b-H b in phenylcoumaran substructures(C)B b53.5/3.06C b-H b in resinol substructures(B)E b55.0/2.75C b-H b in b-1#substructures(E)-OMe55.6/3.73C-H in methoxylsA g59.4/3.40and3.72C g H g in b-O-4#substructures(A)D b59.6/2.75C b-H b in spirodienone substructures(D)I g61.3/4.09C g-H g in cinnamyl(sinapyl/coniferyl)alcohol endgroups(I)C g62.5/3.72C g-H g in phenylcoumaran substructures(C)B g71.0/3.83and4.19C g-H g in resinol substructures(B)A a71.7/4.86C a-H a in b-O-4#substructures(A)D b#79.3/4.11C b#-H b#in spirodienone substructures(D)D a81.2/5.09C a H a in spirodienone substructures(D)A b(G)83.5/4.28C b-H b in b-O-4#linked to a G unit(A)F b83.8/5.23C b-H b in oxidized(C a=O)b-O-4#substructures(F)B a84.8/4.67C a-H a in resinol substructures(B)D a#84.8/4.75C a#H a#in spirodienone substructures(D)A b(S)85.8/4.11C b-H b in b-O-4#linked to a S unit(A)C a86.8/5.46C a-H a in phenylcoumaran substructures(C)S2,6103.8/6.69C2,6-H2,6in etherified syringyl units(S)S#2,6106.6/7.32and7.19C2,6-H2,6in oxidized(C a=O)phenolic syringyl units(S#)G2110.9/6.99C2-H2in guaiacyl units(G)D2#113.2/6.27C2#H2#in spirodienone substructures(D)H3,5114.9/6.74C3,5-H3,5in p-hydroxyphenyl units(H)G5/G6114.9/6.72and6.94;118.7/6.77C5-H5and C6-H6in guaiacyl units(G)D6#118.9/6.09C6#H6#in spirodienone substructures(D)H2,6128.0/7.23C2,6-H2,6in p-hydroxyphenyl units(H)Rencoret et al.。

plant polymers.Carbohydrates make up the majority of the components present in wood.In wood species,approx-imately 40–50%of the biomass is cellulose and 20–30%is hemicellulose [1–3].Lignin is the most abundant aromatic plant polymer on Earth.The lig-nin content in typical wood species ranges from ca.20%to 35%[1,2,4–7].Cellulose,a structural component of the cell wall in green plants and certain microorganisms,is a long linear homopolymer composed of anhydro-D -glucopyranose units linked by b -(1!4)-glycosidic bonds [1,2].The degree of polymerization (DP)of cellulose ranges from about 300to about 10,000(2500–5000nm in length).In woody species,the cellulose DP typically ranges from about 1500to about 5000[8].Both covalent and hydrogen bonding play an important role in the formation of the cellulose crystalline structure providing the polymer with stiff and linear characteristics.Bundling of lateral cellulose molecules is possible due to a myriad of hydrogen bonds.This large number of hydrogen bonds enables a relatively strong lateral association of cel-lulose molecules,resulting in the formation of crystalline regions in the cell wall.Cellulose contains both crystalline and amorphous regions.The relative percent content of these regions depends on the plant species.For instance,the cellulose degree of crystallinity in wood ranges from 67%to 90%[1].Galactoglucomannan (Fig.1)is the major hemicellulose constituent of softwood (SW)species,representing approximately 16%of the wood [1–3].Galactoglucomannans can be divided into two fractions.One fraction has a low galactosyl unit content with a galactosyl/glucosyl/mannosyl ratio of 0.1:1:4.The galactosyl-poor fraction is usually referred to as glucomannan.The other,the galactosyl-rich fraction,has a corresponding ratio of 1:3:4.Galactoglucomannans have a main chain consisting of (1!4)-linked b -D -glucopyranosyl units and b -D -mannopyranosyl units.The D -glucosyl and D -mannosyl units in the main chain are arranged randomly [9].The a -D -galactopyranosyl units are linked as a single-unit side chain to both D -glucosyl and D -mannosyl units by (1!6)bonds.In addition,about half of the manno-syl units are O-acetylated at C-2or C-3in equal proportion [10].The weight-average molecular weight (M w )of a galactoglucomannan isolated from Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris )is 23,300Da [11].Another major hemicellulose component in softwood is arabino-(4-O -methylglucurono)-xylan (Fig.1),which represents about 7–15%of the wood [3].Arabinoglucuronoxylans are composed of approximately 200(1!4)-linked b -D -xylopyranosyl units that are partially substituted by 4-O -methyl-a -D -glucuronic acid moieties at the C-2position,with an average of one glucuronic acid unit per 5–6xylopyranosyl units [12].In addition,a -D -arabinofuranosyl units are bonded at the C-3position of the main xylan chain,with an average of 1.3arabinofuranosyl units per 10xylopyrano-syl units.Studies in Natural Products Chemistry843C OOβ-D-Mannopyranose β-D-Glucopyranoseα-D-Galactopyranoseα-D-Galactopyranoseα(1-6)α(1-6)Acetyl groupα-L-Arabinofuranose4-O-Methyl-α-D-glucuronopyranoseβ-D-Xylopyranoseα(1-2)O 3Xylan is the main component of hardwood (HW)hemicelluloses (10–35%of the wood).In contrast to softwood Xylans,hardwood xylans do not contain a -D -arabinofuranosyl units and,therefore,they are glucuronoxylans.The con-tent of 4-O -methyl-a -D -glucuronic acid moieties in HW xylans is lower than in the softwood ones,about 1unit per 10xylopyranosyl units [1–3].In addition,xylopyranosyl units in HWs are partially acetylated at the C-2and/or C-3posi-tion with total amounts of 3.5–7acetyl groups per 10xylopyranosyl units [13].Lignin is a high molecular weight polymeric substance produced in vivo by an enzyme-initiated dehydrogenative polymerization of coniferyl alcohol and its derivatives [2,4–7,14,15].Lignin also can be described as an irregular aromatic biopolymer composed by phenylpropane (or C 9)units of the p -hydroxyphenyl (H),guaiacyl (G),and syringyl (S)types (Fig.1).Softwood lignins are predominantly of G-type.HW lignins contain both S-and G-units in different ratios depending on the wood species.The amounts of H-units in wood lignins are usually small.However,significant amounts of H-units can be found in grass lignins.The monomeric lignin units are linked in the mac-romolecule by various ether and C d C bonds.The major types of interunitChapter 4Isolation and Analysis of LCC Preparations 85linkages in native lignins are shown in Fig.1[2,4–7,14–16].The main interunit linkage in native lignin is the arylglycerol-b -aryl ether (b -O-40)bond.The amount of b -O-40structures is about 45per 100monomeric lignin units (or mol.%)in softwood lignins and up to 60–65mol.%in hardwood lignins.The main lignin functional groups are the phenolic and aliphatic hydroxyl groups,as well as carbonyl and carboxyl groups.It should be noted that the structure of the native lignin is dramatically modified during chemical processing of wood,including different types of pulping and biorefinery processes [7,16].There is numerous evidence that lignin and polysaccharides are covalently linked,forming manifestations of the so-called “lignin–carbohydrate com-plex”(LCC)[2,7,17–19].In spite of there being relatively low amounts of these linkages in wood [20,21],they play a very important role,as almost all wood lignin is covalently linked to polysaccharides,mainly to hemicellu-loses [22].There are three types of LCC linkages:benzyl ether,phenyl3OCarbC 2: R = C2 or C3 in Xyl, Glc, Man, Gal, AraAB CC 1-carbEH 3D : R = H D': R=Ac33H 3G S3F

Chemistry86Chapter4Isolation and Analysis of LCC Preparations87 glycoside,and esters(Fig.1).The occurrence of stable lignin–carbohydrate bonds creates significant problems in selective separation and isolation of lig-nin and carbohydrate preparations from lignocellulosics.Furthermore,lin-kages between lignin and carbohydrates also impede efficient selective separation of the wood components in biorefining processes.Therefore, understanding the LCC structure is of great fundamental and practical importance.In addition to the chemical structure,the arrangement of the main compo-nents in the cell wall and their interaction is of primary importance to the understanding of the ultrastructure of the cell wall and of the physico-mechanical and other properties of wood materials[2].However,we have left the ultrastructure of the cell wall out of the scope of the present review to avoid unnecessary complication and have decided to focus on the types and quantity of chemical linkages between lignin and carbohydrates in lignocellulosics.In spite of extensive research studies on LCC chemical structures,our knowledge in this field is still insufficient.The complex nature of the cell wall structure as well as the heterogeneous and unstable nature of LCC requires development of efficient preparative methodologies for intact and selective isolation of desired LCC moieties and their analysis.The aim of this chapter is a critical review of traditional and advanced methods for isolation and anal-ysis of LCC preparations.ISOLATION OF LCC PREPARATIONS FROM WOODAND PULPSMost methods for LCC analysis require isolation of LCC preparations from lignocellulosic materials.The main problems in LCC isolation are associated with the complex structure of the cell wall and the interaction of its compo-nents.An appropriate isolation procedure should produce a representative LCC preparation and minimize structural changes during isolation. Isolation of LCC from WoodIt is important to mention that according to the classical view,LCC should be isolated from wood after extraction of“free”lignin,such as the milled wood lignin(MWL)preparation[2,7,17–19,23].However,this view can now be challenged due to the recently demonstrated fact that almost all lignin is linked to polysaccharides[22].This important finding implies that intact LCC in situ could be a large macromolecule encompassing an entire fiber, or even an entire tree due to multiple redundant crosslinking among carbohy-drates and lignin macromolecules.Therefore,it is important to distinguish between the intact LCC in situ and LCC preparations.By LCC preparations,we define preparations isolated from lignocellulosics to analyze specific struc-tural features of the native LCC (in other words,preparations useful to pro-vide information on LCC).Obviously,an LCC preparation is only a part of the whole intact LCC,but its study makes possible a better understanding of the specific structural characteristics of the large LCC macromolecule.Most of LCC preparations discussed in this review are considered to be useful predominantly for the analysis of specific linkages between lignin and carbo-hydrates rather than to the elucidation of the detailed structure of the entire LCC macromolecule.The “classical”wood LCC preparation is considered to be the Bjo¨rkman LCC (or its analogs)isolated from milled wood after preextraction of MWL [24].Such preparations as MWL and cellulolytic enzyme lignin (CEL)were considered experimental preparations used exclusively to study lignin structure.However,more recently,it has been demonstrated that these types of preparations also can be very valuable in the analysis of LCC linkages [21].A schematic description of different methods for the isolation of LCC pre-parations from wood is summarized in Fig.2.Certain fractions of hardwood and annual plant LCCs can be extracted with diluted NaOH (0.3%)under mild conditions (1h reflux under nitrogen atmosphere)[16–19,25–28].The alkali-soluble material contained mostly lignin and up to 50%of carbohy-drates and therefore was referred to as alkali-soluble LCC (Alk-LCC)(Fig.2).The Alk-LCC is enriched with H-and G-units and phenolic OH as compared to the bulk lignin in the same species.In addition,significant differ-ences in the number of interunit linkages are observed in Alk-LCC and bulk lignin [25–28].Most methods for LCC isolation from wood require ball milling,which is carried out so that the cell wall matrix can be degraded and the lignin and LCC fragments can be released and extracted.Extraction of the milled wood with 96%dioxane produces crude milled wood lignin (MWLc)[24].OFIGURE 2Isolation of LCC preparations from wood.Studies in Natural Products Chemistry88Chapter4Isolation and Analysis of LCC Preparations89 Fractionation of the pine crude MWL with90%acetic acid(AcOH)results in a preparation called LCC–AcOH[21,29],and purified MWL.Purified pine MWL(PMWLp)contains a very small amount of sugars,indicating that most of lignin–carbohydrate-linked structures contained in the original crude MWL are concentrated in the PLCC–AcOH preparation.The same is not true for the fractionation of birch MWLc,as birch purified MWL(BMWLp)contains sig-nificant amounts of sugars[21].Earlier,using a more complex protocol,a preparation similar to the LCC–AcOH(called LCC–W)was obtained[30].The enzymatic hydrolysis of milled wood with an enzymatic cellulase/hemi-cellulase complex is very useful for isolation of LCC preparations[31–33].Par-tial enzymatic hydrolysis of the milled wood with an endoglucanase followed by wet chemistry separation allows for the isolation of various LCC fractions from wood and pulps[22].The complete enzymatic hydrolysis of milled wood results in a preparation called milled wood enzymatic lignin(MWEL)[20](Fig.2).The extraction of MWEL with aqueous dioxane produces soluble CEL prepara-tions[33].Another variant of CEL preparations are those isolated by enzymatic hydrolysis of the residue after extraction of MWL[21].Interestingly,MWLs and CELs isolated from HWs after mild alkali preex-traction of wood sawdust were found to contain very small amounts of sugars, even without the purification typically carried out for MWL[25–28,34].This finding implies that a significant amount of carbohydrates in HWs is attached to lignin via alkali-labile linkages,probably of ester type.However,this same conclusion is not applicable to a softwood material(loblolly pine).The extraction of the wood residue with dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO)after extraction of MWL produces Bjo¨rkman’s LCC[23]which has been consid-ered for a long time as the“classical”and unique LCC preparation.Other sol-vents and water were also used to extract LCC preparations from the residue obtained after MWL isolation[17–19,35].The concentration of lignin–carbohydrate linkages by enzymatic hydrolysis of the carbohydrate compo-nents of the DMSO-extracted LCC preparations[36]is a useful approach for LCC linkages analysis.In summary,LCC preparations can be classified as“carbohydrate-rich LCC”(Bjo¨rkman’s LCC and similar ones,enzymatic LCC fractions[22]), and“lignin-rich LCC”(MWEL,CEL,MWLc).Degradation of LCC Linkages During Isolation ProcedureThe degradation of LCC linkages during LCC isolation should be taken into account when extrapolating the results of the composition of isolated LCC preparations to the analysis of wood LCC in situ.Mechanical DegradationSince most of the LCC isolation methods require wood ball milling(Fig.2),it is important to understand how this procedure affects the lignin/LCCstructure.It is known that some changes in lignin structure occur during ball milling,particularly the increases of carbonyl and phenolic OH groups and the decrease of molecular mass [24,33].Recent studies showed that ball milling did not cause changes in the aromatic ring of lignin units,but resulted in some cleavage of b -O-4structures in the whole wood lignin [37,38].Importantly,the degree of lignin degradation during ball milling is inde-pendent of the milling intensity and apparatus used [16,27,28,37,38,39],but it correlates well with the “extracted lignin”yield [37],a value equivalent to the MWLc yield.Therefore,it is very important to report the lignin yield for the preparations when ball milling is used.Unfortunately,this information is often omitted in scientific reports.Our studies [21]showed that the amount of lignin b -O-4units in LCC pre-parations decreased in the row:CEL >MWLp (purified milled wood lig-nin)>MWLc >LCC–AcOH,indicating that the CEL preparation is the least mechanically degraded lignin/LCC fraction and that the LCC–AcOH is the most degraded one.It is very likely that a part of benzyl ether LCC linkages of the type C (Fig.1)is also degraded during ball milling.This can explain the lowest and the highest amount of benzyl ethers observed in the birch LCC–AcOH and CEL preparations,correspondingly (Table 1).The phenyl glycoside lin-kages are apparently stable during milling,as their amount in LCC–AcOH preparation is significantly increased with extended ball milling [21].Enzymatic Degradation of LCC LinkagesThe CEL preparations contain low amounts of phenyl glycoside and g -ester LCC structures [21].The cleavage of phenyl glycoside linkages by b -glycosi-dases,present in cellulase preparations,has been discussed previously [19–21,39,40,41].Under certain conditions,b -glycosidases and other glycosi-dases can present transglycosylating activity of OH groups in LCC carbohy-drates leading to formation of novel bonds originally absent in wood LCC in situ .If the transglycosylation were confirmed in LCC isolation,some reports could require reassessment or revised studies with enzymes lacking transglycosylating activity.In any case,the transglycosylating rates of this type of hydrolytic enzymes tend to be much lower than the hydrolysis rates under typical enzymatic hydrolysis conditions.Low amounts of ester LCC structures as well as g -acetylated lignin moi-eties in the CELs [21]indicate that cellulase preparations should also possess esterase activity [41].Esterase activity in commercial cellulase preparations is commonly found,since many industrial fungal hosts such as Trichoderma sp.or Aspergillus sp.cosecrete with cellulases a range of esterases,the so-called xylan “debranching enzymes”,including acetylxylan esterase (AXE)(EC 3.1.1.72),feruloylesterases (EC 3.1.1.73),and p -coumaroylesterases [42].Studies in Natural Products Chemistry90TABLE1Sugar Compositions of LCC Preparations and the Amounts of LCC Linkages evaluated from NMR Spectra Acquired on

PreparationsSignificant efforts have been made recently to increase the yield of the isolated lignin/LCC preparations and to obtain more representative substrates.Lu and Ralph [43]have suggested a method that results in complete solubili-zation of wood by dissolving acetylated milled wood in NMI/DMSO to obtain a preparation called “acetylated cell walls”(Ac-CW).This approach allows for the characterization of wood components by solution-state NMR spectros-copy,which provides much higher resolution than solid-state NMR.Matsu-moto’s group suggested later an alternative approach consisting in dissolving all wood material after very mild milling in the DMSO/LiCl (6%)system [44].The advantage of this method over the Ac-CW protocol is a better solubility of the preparation obtained under much milder ball mill-ing conditions and,correspondingly,lower degradation of the wood compo-nents.Another advantage of this method is that the prepared sample can be dissolved without modifications such as acetylation and,therefore,more valu-able information on the structure of native wood components can be obtained.We have recently attempted to maximize the yield of the CEL prepara-tion [45]using a protocol for wood dissolution developed at Tokyo Univer-sity [44](Fig.3).We expected that enzymatic hydrolysis of the milled wood,after dissolution and regeneration,should have been more successful,as this procedure would have decomposed the ultramolecular structure of cel-lulose and therefore would have made the material more accessible to enzy-matic hydrolysis.Indeed,wood regeneration significantly increased the yield of the CEL preparation (Table 2).Furthermore,a dramatic increase in the yield was obtained by using 80%(v/v)dioxane extraction instead of the classical 96%(v/v)dioxane extraction.Eventually,a CEL from the regener-ated wood (RCEL-80)was obtained under very mild ball milling conditions with an 83%yield (the yield of MWL was 15%,which means very little lig-nin degradation occurred [44]).When the milling time was increased to 3h,almost all lignin (93%of the original wood lignin)was obtained as a RCEL-80preparation.Thus,the isolation of whole wood lignin and asso-ciated LCC moieties was possible with minimal degradation.This result allowed for detailed analysis of whole wood lignin and LCC moieties byFIGURE 3Isolation of regenerated CEL (RCEL)[45].Studies in Natural Products Chemistry92high-resolution NMR methods.The significantly lower carbohydrate content(about 5%)made the NMR analysis of LCC linkages in the RCEL prepara-tions easier and more accurate than that if the Ac-CW and “dissolved wood”preparations were used.Isolation of LCC from PulpsSimilarly to the isolation of LCC from wood,isolation of LCC from pulps canbe performed using enzymatic hydrolysis.These preparations are usuallycalled “enzymatic residual lignins”[46–49].However,similarly to CEL,theycontain significant amounts of LCC linkages proven by two-dimensionalnuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR)methods and therefore can be consid-ered as LCC preparations [48,50,51].Ball milling is not needed for the isola-tion of LCC from most chemical pulps,and as a result mechanicaldegradation can be avoided.The isolation of enzymatic residual LCCs from unbleached softwood Kraftpulps is a well-established procedure producing preparations with high yields(estimated as lignin in isolated preparations per lignin in the original pulp)and relatively low enzyme impurities [46–48].In contrast,significant pro-blems are encountered when similar procedures are applied to the isolationof enzymatic residual LCCs from hardwood Kraft pulps and semi-bleachedpulps [47].Low yields (25–30%)make these preparations nonrepresentativefor the whole pulp LCC.A very large amount of protein impuritiesTABLE 2Isolation and Analysis of Red Alder RCEL Preparations [45]Preparation MillingTime (h)Dioxane Concentration (v/v)Yield (%)a Amounts,per 100Ar bb

4Isolation and Analysis of LCC Preparations 93(15–35%)leads to significant problems in lignin analysis,particularly wherespectroscopic methods are involved [49].We were able to dramaticallydecrease protein contaminations in hardwood residual lignin preparations(to 1–6%in nonpurified lignins)and to increase the yields to 40–50%byapplying cellulase preparations with high specific activity and by optimizingthe enzyme loading [26,49,50].The highest optimal enzyme loading requiredwas that for LCC isolation from an Eucalyptus globulus pulp and the lowestfor a birch pulp with similar lignin content [26,49].In the future,enzymeswith lower binding affinity toward lignin/LCC [52]could be used to furtherimprove this methodology.In 2005,Berlin et al.[52]showed that certain lignocellulose hydrolyticenzymes,such as endoglucanases,in particular those lacking cellulosebinding domains,do present lower affinity toward lignin/LCC.In that samepublication,the authors postulated that if LCC linkages in certain lignocellu-losic biomass were present in significant amounts they could be partiallyresponsible for limiting biomass enzymatic hydrolysis rate due to LCC orLCC-like linkages (formed during biomass pretreatment)nonproductive bind-ing observed for many cellulases and hemicellulases [53].The “LCC nonproductive binding”can be defined as an interaction,reversible or irreversible,between an enzyme and a fraction of the biomasssubstrate containing recalcitrant lignin–carbohydrate moieties,which doesnot result in LCC bond cleavage and translates into a temporarily or perma-nent reduction of the enzyme active concentration.Nonproductive bindingin enzymatic degradation of biomass can occur between biomass-degradingenzymes and lignin or LCC,between enzymes and new chemical entities gen-erated during biomass pretreatment,and even between these enzymes andrecalcitrant cellulose.In addition,other specific enzyme-related factors suchas strong protein–protein interactions,especially at medium and high proteinloadings,could be another important limiting factor contributing to the bio-mass hydrolysis rate reduction observed,in particular,for processive glyca-nases such as the Trichoderma reesei CBH I (Cel7A),but this is somethingyet to be proven.During biomass physicochemical pretreatment,a prerequisite for efficientenzymatic hydrolysis,the structure of plant biomass changes dramaticallyyielding often new chemical entities absent in the original raw biomass.Therefore,we cannot exclude here the possibility of seeing an increase inthe number of LCCs or LCC-like moieties in biomass resulting from the pre-treatment process and leading to the documented increased recalcitrance ofresidual biomass,particularly true at late hydrolysis stage in high solids reac-tions.We do believe that in some cases,nonproductive binding could resultfrom binding of enzymes to recalcitrant lignin–carbohydrate moieties orrelated structures which are present in increased concentrations toward theend of the biomass enzymatic hydrolysis.An indirect evidence of the latteris that the addition of fresh enzymes during the late stages of biomassStudies in Natural Products Chemistry94Chapter4Isolation and Analysis of LCC Preparations95 enzymatic hydrolysis often leads to a significant recovery of the initial reac-tion rate of cellulose conversion[52].There is no documented evidence that the nonproductive binding in pretreated biomass can happen namely at the linkage of the lignin and the carbohydrate moiety,but it is something one can hypothesize about.Interesting that,recently,the Canadian company,Iogen Energy Corpora-tion(Ottawa,Canada)claimed in a patent certain structural moieties in lignocellulose-degrading enzymes that seem to be responsible for their non-productive binding to lignin[54].It is important to mention that the low yields obtained for hardwood pulp LCC preparations,which is lower with the decrease in the lignin content in pulps,are an indication of the fact that a significant portion of lignin remains soluble in aqueous solution after enzymatic hydrolysis of the pulps[49]. Apparently,this fraction consists of low molecular weight lignin fragments, likely linked to carbohydrates,which makes it more hydrophilic and therefore more water soluble.The frequency of LCC bonds(per lignin unit)in this frac-tion should be much higher than that in the fraction of higher molecular mass residual lignin.Therefore,it would be of interest to isolate the water-soluble LCC fraction and characterize it[49].LCC ANALYSISThe majority of methods in LCC analysis can be divided into model studies, wet chemistry methods,and spectroscopic techniques.Model Compound StudiesModel compound experiments consist in mimicking reactions of formation and transformation of lignin–carbohydrate linkages with individual chemical compounds under appropriate reaction conditions.The benzyl ether and ben-zyl ester LCC bonds were originally suggested by Freidenberg based on his quinone methide theory of lignification and demonstrated by model experi-ments with the dehydrogenation polymer(DHP)[14,55,56].Model experi-ments were used later to mimic the formation of phenyl glycoside linkages[57]and a lignin–xylan complex[58].Model compound experiments were also useful to study LCC linkages in forages[59,60].However,one must be very careful with the application of these results to LCC in plants,since it is very difficult to properly model the reaction conditions of lignin biosynthe-sis in living cells.As an example,significant efforts to model lignin structure with DHP experiments have been still unsuccessful in mimicking the exact structure of a real lignin polymer.Therefore,model compound experiments could be a valuable tool in predicting various LCC linkages.However,these results must be verified with data obtained from real lignocellulosic substrates.。
