Structural characterization and comparison of enzymatic and deep eutectic solvents isolated lignin from various green processes: Toward lignin valorization

In this work, several representative green processes were developed to extract the enzymatic lignin and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) isolated lignin from corn straw. The results revealed that enzymatic lignin and DESs isolated lignin had a relatively low and homogeneous molecular weight and DESs isolated lignin shown a higher purity. Enzymatic and DESs isolated lignin showed good representativeness and similar to original herbal lignin...
