Tension wood structure and morphology conducive for better enzymatic digestion
Background Tension wood is a type of reaction wood in response to bending or leaning stem as a corrective growth process. Tension wood is formed by both natural and man-made processes. Most attractively, tension wood contains higher glucan content and undergoes higher enzymatic conversion to fermentable sugars. Here, we have employed structural techniques, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) ...
متن کاملDynamics of enzymatic digestion of elastic fibers and networks under tension.
We study the enzymatic degradation of an elastic fiber under tension using an anisotropic random-walk model coupled with binding-unbinding reactions that weaken the fiber. The fiber is represented by a chain of elastic springs in series along which enzyme molecules can diffuse. Numerical simulations show that the fiber stiffness decreases exponentially with two distinct regimes. The time consta...
متن کاملThe Enzymatic Digestion of Wool*
It has generally been accepted that keratins are not attacked by enzymes. In a review of the literature by Barritt (1) the property of non-digestibility was an essential part of the definition of a keratin. However, there has been evidence for the digestion of wool by pancreatin. Wool that had been suspended in solutions of varying pH (2 to 10) for 48 hours at room temperature was slowly attack...
متن کاملEnzymatic Bleaching of Wood Pulp
The dark colour of kraft pulp after the wood chips have been heated at high temperature with NaOH solution is caused by lignin (a complex phenolic polymer) still attached to the cellulose fibres. Traditionally this pulp is treated with chlorine to bleach the pulp to make it suitable for paper making. Unfortunately this leads to the formation of some potentially toxic chlorophenolic compounds of...
متن کاملA novel method for manufacturing of wood flour/PP composites with better fire retardancy and mechanical properties
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of applying methods andamount of ammonium polyphosphate (0, 2 and 4 wt%) on fire retardancy andmechanical properties of wood flour/polypropylene composites. The resultsshowed that addition of fire retardant improved the mechanical properties such astensile and flexural strengths and fire retardancy of composites. But by increasingof fire retar...
