The researchers showed that out of five types of lignin tested, organosolv lignin improved the sun protection factor (SPF) of sunblock the most. Sunscreen containing just one percent of this ...

It examines biorefinery, kraft, organosolv, soda, lignosulfonate, and hydrolytic lignin manufacturing. SWOT analyses for major lignin categories are included. Lignin is the second most abundant ...

A lotion with 10 percent organosolv lignin increased SPF even further, from 15 to almost 92, but excessive amounts of hydrophilic lignin such as lignosulfonate caused the product to start separating.

The researchers further stated, “Our results showed that these peptoid-based enzyme mimetics can catalyze the oxidative depolymerization of organosolv lignin under much milder conditions with a ...

Lignin and cellulose are polymers—large molecules made up of repeating modules—that are situated in a tangled braid, along with some other polymers, within the plant cell wall. Lignin and ...

Lignin, a by-product of the forest industry, can be used to produce sustainable materials that can replace traditional plastics. This has been revealed in a research project at the University of ...
