Evaluation of properties of lignin derived from local biomass using low temperature transition mixture and its extraction process

The current study applied sucrose/malic acid/water (SMAW) low transition temperature mixture (LTTM) for the pretreatment of oil palm empty fruit bunch, oil palm trunk, oil palm mesocarp fibre, oil palm kernel shell, rice husk, coconut husk, coconut shell, and cocoa kernel shell. The outcomes from this study represented the culmination of extensive experimentation and analysis and have the potential to offer valuable insights into lignin recovery and pretreatment methodologies for diverse lignocellulosic feedstocks. The implications of these findings can potentially be applied in the scale-up implementation of the SMAW LTTM for multi-feedstock biomass pretreatment.
