Natural Polyphenols from Wood: Tannin and Lignin ? An Industrial Perspective

Natural Polyphenols from Wood: Tannin and Lignin - An Industrial Perspective is a detailed guide on the sourcing, processing and preparation of tannin and lignin for valuable advanced applications across areas such as fuels, chemicals, drugs and food. This book provides a strong and practical understanding of the use of these valuable materials in novel industrial applications. Sections cover natural polyphenols from wood, along with the fundamental aspects of carbon management within the tree, in-depth coverage of extraction methods, characterization and properties, and extensive coverage of practical and industrial applications of with an emphasis on new technologies. This is an essential resource for researchers and advanced students working with lignin or tannin, and for those across biopolymer science, biomass, wood chemistry, paper, wood adhesives, polymer materials, renewable resources, and biotechnology. It also supports industrial R&D and scientists working with wood polyphenols or bio-based polymers. Re-evaluates wood polyphenols from an industrial perspective, revealing the latest techniques and drawing on patent literatureAddresses fundamental issues of wood polyphenols, such as carbon cycle, wood fractionation, structure and propertiesOffers a comprehensive review of practical applications, including lignin depolymerization, wood reconstruction, fuels, chemicals, drugs and food INDICE: 1.
