Production of Glucose from PEG-Based Pretreated Green Coconut Fiber and Synthesis of Lignin Nanoparticles for Stabilization of O/W Pickering Emulsion.

ABSTRACT: Solvolysis processes or organosolv pretreatments alone have been widely used as a way to obtain glycolated lignins, a type of lignin with thermoplastic properties. Despite this interest, there are still many gaps regarding the byproducts generated and other potential destinations for glycolated lignins, which must be addressed for the process to reach a commercial level. In the present study, the authors investigated the enzymatic digestion of green coconut fiber pretreated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 and sulfuric acid, as well as the performance of glycolated lignin as a stabilizer of o/w Pickering emulsions, a notable application for lignins. The PEG-based organosolv pretreatment promoted extensive delignification (reduction of Klason lignin from 35.7 to 29.7%) and enabled greater
