Zhang L, Shao G, Jin Y, Yang N, Xu X. Efficient hemicellulose removal from lignocellulose by induced electric field-aided dilute acid pretreatment. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129839. [PMID: 38309397 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
This study evaluated the effectiveness of induced electric field (IEF) as a novel electrotechnology to assist dilute acid pretreatment of wheat straw (WS) at atmospheric pressure and low temperature (90 °C). The effects of acid concentration and duration on cellulose recovery, hemicellulose and lignin removal were investigated. Meanwhile, the differences between IEF pretreatment and hydrothermal pretreatment were compared by quantitative and qualitative analysis. The optimal pretreatment condition was acid concentration 1 % with the period of 5 h. Under the parameters, the hemicellulose removal of WS after IEF pretreatment was up to 73.6 %, and the enzymatic efficiency was 55.8 %. In addition, the irregular surface morphology, diminished functional groups associated with hemicellulose, increased specific surface area and pore volume, as well as improved thermal stability of the residual WS support the remarkable effect of IEF pretreatment. The feasibility of IEF pretreatment is might be due to the fact that the magneto-induced electric field promotes ionization of H+ and formation of hydrated hydrogen ions, increasing the acidity of the medium. Secondly, electroporation disrupts the anti-degradation structure of WS and increases the accessibility of cellulose to cellulases. It indicated that IEF is a green and efficient strategy for assisting the separation of hemicellulose from lignocellulose.

Abstract
With the banning of antibiotic chemical feed additives, multi-functional bioactive feed additives have been extensively sought after by the feed industry. In this study, low-cost and renewable corn cobs were treated with liquid hot water and converted into bioactive xylo-oligosaccharides and L-lactic acid after enzymatic hydrolysis, strain activation, and fermentation under mild conditions, which achieved a full utilization of cellulose and hemicellulose in corn cobs. Simultaneous saccharification fermentation after strain activation with enzymatic hydrolysate delivered the highest conversion rate of glucose to L-lactic acid (93.00 %) and yielded 17.38 g/L L-lactic acid and 2.68 g/L xylo-oligosaccharides. On this basis, batch-feeding fermentation resulted in a 78.03 % conversion rate of glucose to L-lactic acid, 18.99 g/L L-lactic acid, and 2.84 g/L xylo-oligosaccharides. This work not only provided a green and clean bioconversion strategy to produce multi-functional feed additives but can also boost the full utilization of renewable and cheap biomass resources.

Abstract
As an environmentally friendly lignocellulosic biomass separation technology, hydrothermal pretreatment (HP) has a strong application prospect. However, the low separation efficiency is a main factor limiting its application. In this study, the poplar components were separated using HP with ferric chloride and pH buffer (HFB). The optimal conditions were ferric chloride concentration of 0.10 M, reaction temperature of 150 °C, reaction time of 15 min and pH 1.9. The separation of hemicellulose was increased 34.03 % to 77.02 %. The pH buffering resulted in the highest cellulose and lignin retention yields compared to ferric chloride pretreatment (FC). The high efficiency separation of hemicellulose via HFB pretreatment inhibited the degradation of xylose. The hydrolysate was effectively reused for five times. The fiber crystallinity index reached 60.05 %, and the highest C/O ratio was obtained. The results provide theoretical support for improving the efficiency of HP and promoting its application.

Abstract
The greener chemical and enzymatic pretreatments for lignocellulosic biomasses are portraying a crucial role owing to their recalcitrant nature. Traditional pretreatments lead to partial degradation of lignin and hemicellulose moieties from the pretreated biomass. But it still restricts the enzyme accessibility for the digestibility towards the celluloses and the interaction of lignin-enzymes, nonproductively. Moreover, incursion of certain special chemical treatments and other lignin sulfonation techniques to the enzymatic pretreatment (hybrid enzymatic pretreatment) enhances the lignin structural modification, solubilization of the hemicelluloses and both saccharification and fermentation processes (SAF). This article concentrates on recent developments in various chemical and hybrid enzymatic pretreatments on biomass materials with their mode of activities. Furthermore, the issues on strategies of the existing pretreatments towards their industrial applications are highlighted, which could lead to innovative ideas to overcome the challenges and give guideline for the researchers towards the lignocellulosic biorefineries.

Abstract
Current strategies for the production of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) from biomass through non-enzymatic catalysis often led to a certain degree of lignin condensation, which severely restrains subsequent enzyme hydrolysis of cellulose. Herein, syringic acid (SA) pretreatment was investigated to coproduce XOS, glucose, and less-condensed lignin from sugarcane bagasse. SA acted as a catalyst and lignin condensation inhibitor during the pretreatment. The highest XOS yield of 58.7% (27.7% xylobiose and 24.7% xylotriose) was obtained at 180 °C - 20 min - 9% SA, and the corresponding xylose/XOS ratio was only 0.42. Compared with the pretreatment at 180 °C - 20 min - 0% SA, the addition of 9% SA increased the glucose yield from 85.7% to 92.4% and decreased the degree of lignin condensation from 0.55 to 0.42. Moreover, 26.7% of SA could be easily recovered. This work presents a pretreatment strategy in which the efficient production of XOS and the suppression of lignin condensation are achieved simultaneously.

Abstract
Aromatic acids play a selective role in the separation of hemicellulose. Phenolic acids have demonstrated an inhibitory effect on lignin condensation. In the current study, vanillic acid (VA), which combines the characteristics of aromatic and phenolic acids, is used to separate eucalyptus. The efficient and selective separation of hemicellulose is achieved simultaneously at 170 °C, 8.0% VA concentration, and 80 min. The separation yield of xylose increased from 78.80% to 88.59% compared to acetic acid (AA) pretreatment. The separation yield of lignin decreased from 19.32% to 11.19%. In particular, the β-O-4 content of lignin increased by 5.78% after pretreatment. The results indicate that VA, as a "carbon positive ion scavenger", it preferentially reacts with the carbon-positive ion intermediate of lignin. Surprisingly, the inhibition of lignin condensation is achieved. This study provides a new starting point for the development of an efficient and sustainable commercial technology by organic acid pretreatment.

Abstract
The efficiency of organic acid treatment in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass fractions has been widely recognized. In this study, a novel green pyruvic acid (PA) treatment is proposed. The higher separation efficiency of eucalyptus hemicellulose was obtained at 4.0% PA and 150 °C. The hemicellulose separation yield was increased from 71.71 to 88.09% compared to glycolic acid (GA) treatment. In addition, the treatment time was significantly reduced from 180 to 40 min. The proportion of cellulose in the solid increased after PA treatment. However, the accompanying separation of lignin was not effectively controlled. Fortunately, a six-membered ring structure was formed on the diol structure of the lignin β-O-4 side chain. Fewer lignin-condensed structures were observed. High-value lignin rich in phenol hydroxyl groups were obtained. It provides a green path for the simultaneous achievement of efficient hemicellulose separation and inhibition of lignin repolymerization using organic acid treatment.

Abstract
Bamboo and its mechanical processing residues have broad prospects for high value-added utilization. In this research, p-toluenesulfonic acid was used for the pretreatment of bamboo to investigate the effects of extraction and depolymerization of hemicellulose. The response and behavior of changes of cell-wall chemical components were investigated after different solvent concentration, time, and temperature pretreatment. Results indicated that the maximum extraction yield of hemicellulose was 95.16 % with 5 % p-toluenesulfonic acid at 140 °C for 30 min. The depolymerized components of hemicellulose in the filtrate were mainly xylose and xylooligosaccharide, with xylobiose accounting for 30.77 %. The extraction of xylose from the filtrate reached a maximum of 90.16 % with 5 % p-toluenesulfonic acid at 150 °C for 30 min pretreatment. This research provided a potential strategy for the industrial production of xylose and xylooligosaccharide from bamboo and for the future conversion and utilization.

Abstract
The use of fertilizer is closely related to crop growth and environmental protection in agricultural production. It is of great significance to develop environmentally friendly and biodegradable bio-based slow-release fertilizers. In this work, porous hemicellulose-based hydrogels were created, which had excellent mechanical properties, water retention properties (the water retention ratio in soil was 93.8% after 5 d), antioxidant properties (76.76%), and UV resistance (92.2%). This improves the efficiency and potential of its application in soil. In addition, electrostatic interaction and coating with sodium alginate produced a stable core-shell structure. The slow release of urea was realized. The cumulative release ratio of urea after 12 h was 27.42% and 11.38%, and the release kinetic constants were 0.0973 and 0.0288, in aqueous solution and soil, respectively. The sustained release results demonstrated that urea diffusion in aqueous solution followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, indicating the Fick diffusion mechanism, whereas diffusion in soil adhered to the Higuchi model. The outcomes show that urea release ratio may be successfully slowed down by hemicellulose hydrogels with high water retention ability. This provides a new method for the application of lignocellulosic biomass in agricultural slow-release fertilizer.

Abstract
The development of organic acid pretreatments from biological sources is essential to facilitate the progress of green and sustainable chemistry. In this study, the effectiveness of mandelic acid pretreatment (MAP) was analyzed for eucalyptus hemicellulose separation. 83.66% of xylose was separated under optimal conditions (temperature: 150 °C; concentration: 6.0 wt%; time: 80 min). The hemicellulose separation selectivity is higher than acetic acid pretreatment (AAP). The stable and effective separation efficiency (56.55%) is observed even after six reuses of the hydrolysate. Higher thermal stability, larger crystallinity index and optimized surface element distribution in the samples were demonstrated by MAP. Lignin condensation is effectively inhibited through MAP, as determined from the structural of different lignin. In particular, the demethoxylation of lignin by MA was found. These results open up a new way to construct a novel organic acid pretreatment for separating hemicellulose with high efficiency.

Abstract
Organic acid pretreatment is an effective method for green separation of lignocellulosic biomass. However, repolymerization of lignin seriously affects the dissolution of hemicellulose and the conversion of cellulose during organic acid pretreatment. Therefore, a new organic acid pretreatment, levulinic acid (Lev) pretreatment, was studied for the deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass without adding additional additives. The preferred separation of hemicellulose was realized at Lev concentration 7.0%, temperature 170 °C, and time 100 min. The separation of hemicellulose increased from 58.38% to 82.05% compared with acetic acid pretreatment. It was found that the repolymerization of lignin was effectively inhibited in the efficient separation of hemicellulose. This was attributed to the fact that γ-valerolactone (GVL) is a good green scavenger of lignin fragments. The lignin fragments in the hydrolysate were effectively dissolved. The results provided theoretical support for creating green and efficient organic acid pretreatment and effectively inhibiting lignin repolymerization.

Abstract
Biomass pretreatment is an essential strategy to overcome biomass recalcitrance and promote lignocellulosic bioconversion. Here, a reusable organic solvent system (formic acid-methanesulfonic acid) was explored to pretreat poplar under a mild temperature (below 100 °C). The results showed that the co-solvent system could extract basically complete hemicelluloses and part of lignin with original cellulose retained in the pretreated substrates. Meanwhile, sulfonic acid groups were introduced into lignin structure remained in the substrates. The glucose conversion yield of the substrates with a higher concentration of sulfonic acid groups (13.2 mmol/kg) reached 45.9 % by reducing the hydrophobic interaction between lignin and cellulase, showing 89.3 % improvement compared with that of the substrates treated with single formic acid. This progressive study aimed to develop a new strategy to realize sulfonation and promote enzymatic hydrolysis of substrates by using mild organic solvent pretreatment.

Abstract
The preparation of bio-based hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties, stable electrochemical properties, and self-adhesive properties remains a challenge. In this study, nano-polydopamine-reinforced hemicellulose-based hydrogels with typical multistage pore structures were prepared. The nanocomposite hydrogels exhibit stable mechanical properties and show no significant crushing phenomenon after 1000 cycles of cyclic compression. Its ultimate tensile strain was 101%, which is significantly higher than that of native skin. The shear adhesion strength of the hydrogel to skin tissue reaches 7.52 kPa, which is better than fibrin glue (Greenplast) (5 kPa), and the excellent adhesion property prolongs the service time of the hydrogel in biomedicine applications. The impedance of the hydrogel was reduced and the electrical conductivity was increased with the addition of nano-polydopamine. The prepared nanocomposite hydrogel can detect various body movements (even throat vibrations) in real time as a motion sensor while being able to rapidly load cationic drugs and facilitate transdermal introduction of electrically stimulated drug ions as a drug patch. It provides theoretical support for the fabrication of hemicellulose-based hydrogels with excellent properties through molecular design and nanoparticle reinforcement. This has important implications for the development of next-generation flexible materials suitable for health monitoring and self-administration.

Abstract
Lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) are important from the perspective of the anti-depolymerization barrier of lignocellulosic biomass, as it limits the high-value utilization of lignocellulosic biomass resources. In this study, the unit structure of lignin in the LCC has been investigated in depth. Oxidation of a selective lignin unit by chlorine dioxide revealed that the LCC structures are enriched with xylanase-macroporous resins, and the structure that was not oxidized in LCC was also identified. At a chlorine dioxide concentration of 90.93 mg/L, 1 g of LCC lignin is oxidized by 0.7 g chlorine dioxide. The purified residual hemicellulose lignin was mainly H-type. The β-O-4' signal was the strongest for the bond between lignin and carbohydrates. Therefore, it is speculated that most of the residual lignin in bamboo-alkali hemicellulose exists in the form of non-phenolic structural units. This study provides a reference for further studies on the specific structures of LCC.

Abstract
The cellulose-rich residual solids are obtained with p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) treatment. However, better fractionation of hemicellulose and separation is difficult to obtain during treatment. This study aims at investigating the separation selectivity of bamboo hemicellulose using freeze-thaw-assisted p-TsOH (F/p-TsOH) treatment. The desired separation effect was achieved at freezing temperature -40 °C, freezing time 20 h, p-TsOH concentration 3.0 %, treatment temperature 130 °C and time 80 min. 93.26 % hemicellulose separation was found, which was 32.88 % higher than that of conventional p-TsOH treatment. Furthermore, the separation yield of lignin decreased significantly from 69.29 % to 13.98 %. The distinct lignin characteristic absorption peaks were found, while that of hemicellulose was difficult to observe. The fiber crystallinity index increased from 50.42 to 56.55 %. Furthermore, greater selectivity for hemicellulose separation was achieved. The results provide a new research thinking for efficient fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass by organic acid treatment.

Abstract
Organic acid pretreatments can efficiently separate biomass-based hemicellulose and selectively produce hemicellulose-derived sugars. In this study, hemicellulose is separation as xylose, oligosaccharides in the tropic acid-catalyzed hydrothermal pretreatment of eucalyptus. The maximum yield of hemicellulose-derived sugars (85.78 %) with 71.25 % xylose selectivity (based on the total xylose in raw material) was achieved in the hydrolysate under optimal conditions (5 % TA, 160 ℃, 80 min). The yield of hemicellulose-derived sugar and the separation yield of hemicellulose increased by 11.06 % and 11.45 % compared with glycolic acid pretreatment in the similar severity factor. The separation yield of cellulose and lignin was decreased by 4.23 % and 0.98 %, respectively. This resulted in residual solids with higher biological stability (higher fiber crystallinity index, higher thermal stability, and higher lignin content). Therefore, higher hemicellulose separation selectivity and rich hemicellulose-derived sugars were obtained using TA pretreatment. The work would bring up a new method for biomass refining.

Abstract
The selectivity of alkali treatment (AT) for hemicellulose separation is reduced due to the alkali solubility of lignin. It was improved using freeze-thaw-assisted alkaline treatment (FT/AT). In this study, bamboo hemicellulose was separated via a one-step freeze-thaw-assisted alkali treatment (OFT/AT). The effects of freezing temperature, freezing time, alkali concentration, and treatment time on bamboo components were studied. The separation yield of hemicellulose was 73.26%, compared to 64.00% using conventional FT/AT. The separation of lignin and cellulose was inhibited as alkali concentration decreased from 7.0% to 5.0%. The extraction yield of hemicellulose increased from 46.35% to 56.12%. Structural analysis of extracted hemicellulose revealed the effective inhibition of the breakage of the xylose backbone and arabinose side chain of hemicellulose. This indicated that the molecular structure of extracted hemicellulose was relatively complete. It provides theoretical support for the efficient separation of hemicellulose by AT.

Abstract
As a clean and efficient method of lignocellulosic biomass separation, organic acid pretreatment has attracted extensive research. Hemicellulose or lignin is selectively isolated and the cellulose structure is preserved. Effective fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass is achieved. The separation characteristics of hemicellulose or lignin by different organic acids were summarized. The organic acids of hemicellulose were separated into hydrogen ionized, autocatalytic and α-hydroxy acids according to the separation mechanism. The separation of lignin depends on the dissolution mechanism and spatial effect of organic acids. In addition, the challenges and prospects of organic acid pretreatment were analyzed. The separation of hemicellulose and enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose were significantly affected by the polycondensation of lignin, which is effectively inhibited by the addition of green additives such as ketones or alcohols. Lignin separation was improved by developing a deep eutectic solvent treatment based on organic acid pretreatment. This work provides support for efficient cleaning of carbohydrate polymers and lignin to promote global carbon neutrality.

Efficient removal of residual lignin from eucalyptus pulp via high-concentration chlorine dioxide treatment and its effect on the properties of residual solids. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 360:127621. [PMID: 35842067 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.127621] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 07/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In fact, effectively removing lignin from pulp fibers facilitates the conversion and utilization of cellulose. In this study, the residual lignin in eucalyptus pulp was separated using a high concentration of chlorine dioxide. The effects of chlorine dioxide dosage, temperature, and time on lignin removal were investigated. The optimal conditions are chlorine dioxide dosage 5.0%, reaction temperature 40 °C, and reaction time 30 min. The lignin removal yield is 88.21%. The removal yields of cellulose and hemicellulose are 2.28 and 17.00%, respectively. The treated eucalyptus pulp has higher fiber crystallinity and thermal stability. The carbon content on the fiber surface is significantly reduced. The results show that lignin is removed by efficient oxidation, and the degradation of carbohydrates is inhibited using high concentrations of chlorine dioxide at low temperatures and short reaction times. This provides theoretical support for high value conversion of cellulose.

Abstract
As a green and efficient component separation technology, organic acid pretreatment has been widely studied in biomass refining. In particular, the efficient separation of lignin by p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) pretreatment has been achieved. In this study, the mechanism of the atmospheric separation of bagasse lignin with p-TsOH was investigated. The separation kinetics of lignin was analyzed. A non-simple linear relationship was found between the separation yield of lignin and the concentration of p-TsOH, the temperature and the stirring speed. The shrinking nucleus model for the separation of lignin was established based on the introduction of mass transfer and diffusion factors. A general model of the total delignification rate was obtained. The results showed that the process of lignin separation occurred into two phases, i.e., a fast stage and a slow stage. The results provide a theoretical basis for the efficient separation of lignin by p-TsOH pretreatment.

Abstract
Hemicellulose is a major component of the complex biomass recalcitrance structure of fiber cell walls. Even though biomass recalcitrance protects plants, it affects the effective utilization of lignocellulosic biomass resources. Therefore, the separation and extraction of hemicellulose is very important. In this study, an improved two-step alkali pretreatment method was proposed to separate hemicellulose efficiently. Firstly, 16.61% hemicellulose was extracted from bamboo by the weak alkali treatment. Then, the physical freezing and the alkali treatment were carried out by freezing at −20 °C for 12.0 h and thawing at room temperature, heating to 80 °C, and treating with 5.0% sodium hydroxide for 90 min; the extraction yield of hemicellulose reached 73.93%. The total extraction yield of the two steps was 90.54%, and the molecular weight and purity reached 44,865 g·mol–1 and 89.60%, respectively. It provides a new method for breaking the biomass recalcitrance of wood fiber resources and effectively extracting hemicellulose.

Abstract
Aromatic and hydroxyl acid treatments demonstrate their respective characteristics for the separation of lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, the effect of salicylic acid (SA-A) treatment on the separation of eucalyptus components with both aromatic and hydroxyl acid properties was analyzed. The optimal conditions were SA-A concentration 9.0%, reaction temperature 140 °C and time 75 min. The separation yield of xylose was 85.93%. The separation of cellulose and lignin was inhibited by SA-A treatment in contrast to the separation by glycolic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid treatment. Moreover, SA-A treatment resulted in a larger fiber crystallinity index and higher thermal stability. The SA-A-treated samples contained lignin that was rich in β-O-4 and hydroxyl groups. The degradation and condensation of lignin was inhibited. The selectivity of aromatic acids for separating hemicellulose and protecting the lignin structure using hydroxy acids was demonstrated. Thus, new and efficient organic acid treatments can be developed.

Abstract
Paper packaging materials are widely used as sustainable green materials in food packaging. The production or processing of paper materials is conducted in an environment that contains organic chlorides; therefore, potential food safety issues exist. In this study, the adsorption behavior of organic chlorides on paper materials was investigated. Chloropropanol, which has been extensively studied in the field of food safety, was employed as the research object. We studied the adsorption mechanism of chloropropanol on a crystalline nanocellulose (CNC) model. The results demonstrated that physical adsorption was the prevailing process, and the intermolecular hydrogen bonds acted as the driving force for adsorption. The adsorption effect assumed greatest significance under neutral and weakly alkaline conditions. A good linear relationship between the amount of chloropropanol adsorbed and the amount of CNC used was discovered. Thus, the findings of this study are crucial in monitoring the safety of products in systems containing chloropropanol and other chlorinated organic substances. This is particularly critical in the production of food-grade paper packaging materials.

Abstract
The preparation of bio-oil through biomass pyrolysis is promoted by different demineralization processes to remove alkali and alkaline earth metal elements (AAEMs). In this study, the hydrothermal pretreatment demineralization was optimized by the response surface method. The pretreatment temperature, time and pH were the response elements, and the total dissolution rates of potassium, calcium and magnesium were the response values. The interactions of response factors for AAEMs removal were analyzed. The interaction between temperature and time was significant. The optimal AAEMs removal process was obtained with a reaction temperature of 172.98 °C, time of 59.77 min, and pH of 3.01. The optimal dissolution rate of AAEMs was 47.59%. The thermal stability of eucalyptus with and without pretreatment was analyzed by TGA. The hydrothermal pretreatment samples exhibit higher thermostability. The composition and distribution of pyrolysis products of different samples were analyzed by Py-GC/MS. The results showed that the content of sugars and high-quality bio-oil (C6, C7, C8 and C9) were 60.74% and 80.99%, respectively, by hydrothermal pretreatment. These results show that the removal of AAEMs through hydrothermal pretreatment not only improves the yield of bio-oil, but also improves the quality of bio-oil and promotes an upgrade in the quality of bio-oil.

Abstract
Hemicelluloses were effectively separated using p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) treatment at high temperature. High temperature and pressure promoted hydrolysis of hemicellulose, which limited its value upon recovery. In this study, bagasse hemicellulose was separated and extracted by p-TsOH treatment at atmospheric pressure. The effects of temperature, p-TsOH concentration, and time on hemicellulose separation and extraction were investigated. The optimal conditions were 80 °C, 3.0% p-TsOH, and 120 min. The separation and extraction yield of hemicellulose was 73.23% and 36.02%, respectively. Extraction hemicellulose with 95.60% purity was obtained. In addition, the dissolution mechanism of hemicellulose was analyzed. Degradation of β-glycosidic bonds was inhibited. Benzyl ether bond between carbohydrates and lignin was selectively cleaved. The skeleton structure of xylan in hemicellulose was protected while the functional groups of branch chain were severely damaged. It provides a valuable theoretical basis for the efficient separation and extraction of hemicellulose.

Abstract
Ball milling technology is the classical technology to isolate representative lignin in the cell wall of biomass for further investigation. In this work, different ball milling times were carried out on hardwood (poplar sawdust), softwood (larch sawdust), and gramineous material (bamboo residues) to understand the optimum condition to isolate the representative milled wood lignin (MWL) in these different biomass species. Results showed that prolonging ball milling time from 3 to 7 h obviously increased the isolation yields of MWL in bamboo residues (from 39.2% to 53.9%) and poplar sawdust (from 15.5% to 35.6%), while only a slight increase was found for the MWL yield of larch sawdust (from 23.4% to 25.8%). Importantly, the lignin substructure of ß-O-4 in the MWL samples from different biomasses can be a little degraded with the increasing ball milling time, resulting in the prepared MWL with lower molecular weight and higher content of hydroxyl groups. Based on the isolation yield and structure features, milling time with 3 and 7 h were sufficient to isolate the representative lignin (with yield over 30%) in the cell wall of bamboo residues and poplar sawdust, respectively, while more than 7 h should be carried out to isolate the representative lignin in larch sawdust.

Abstract
Biomass polyphenols are bio-active macromolecules with distinct chemical structures in a variety of biomass. In recent years, the study of biomass polyphenols and their application in food and medicine fields has become a research hotspot, which predominantly focuses on the preparation, purification, structural identifications, and measurements of biological activities. Many studies describe methodologies for extraction and application of polyphenols, but comprehensive work to review its physiological activities like drugs and health products are lacking. This paper comprehensively unlocks the bioactivities of antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor, anticancer, neuroprotection, control of blood sugar, regulation of blood fat, and promotion of gastrointestinal health functions of polyphenols from different biomass sources. This review will serve as an illuminating resource for the global scientific community, especially for those who are actively working to promote the advances of the polyphenols research field.
