Ferulic and p-coumaric acids extraction by alkaline hydrolysis of brewer's spent grain

TL;DR: In this article, a full factorial design with three replicates at the center point was used to investigate the simultaneous effects of the variables: NaOH concentration (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%, w/v), temperature (80, 100 and 120°C), and reaction time (30, 60 and 90 min), on the alkaline hydrolysis.

Biological bleaching of chemical pulps

TL;DR: The use of oxidative enzymes from white-rot fungi, that can directly attack lignin, is a second-generation approach, which could produce larger chemical savings than xylanase but has not yet been developed to the full scale.

Characterization of a cellulase-free, neutral xylanase from Thermomyces lanuginosus CBS 288.54 and its biobleaching effect on wheat straw pulp.

TL;DR: A xylanase purified from the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus CBS 288.54 was characterized and its potential application in wheat straw pulp biobleaching was evaluated.

Production of xylanases from rice bran by Streptomyces actuosus A-151

TL;DR: Results showed that Streptomyces actuosus A-151, isolated from northern Taiwan, produced β-xylanase when rice bran was used as the sole carbon source, and addition of xylan, shrimp and crab shell powder, and orange peel to the culture medium was found to enhance the production of x Dylanase.
