Abstract:
Lignin represents one of the most abundant plant-derived polymers. It is mostly present in the cell wall, and its primary role is to provide mechanical support to the plant. Chemical processes during wood-pulping yield diverse technical lignins with distinct characteristics. Due to their complex and variable nature, technical lignins are often undervalued and are mainly used as burning fuel in mills. However, various technical lignins have been shown to possess antimicrobial properties. Consequently, there is an increasing interest in understanding the properties and conditions that underlie their antimicrobial characteristics and how we can utilize them for practical applications. This review, for the first time, comprehensively summarized the antimicrobial activities of technical lignins and their potential antimicrobial applications.
摘要:
木质素代表最丰富的植物衍生聚合物之一。它主要存在于细胞壁中,其主要作用是为工厂提供机械支持。木材制浆过程中的化学过程会产生具有不同特征的不同技术木质素。由于其复杂多变的性质,技术木质素通常被低估,主要用作工厂的燃烧燃料。然而,各种技术木质素已被证明具有抗菌性能。因此,人们对了解其抗菌特性的特性和条件以及如何将其用于实际应用越来越感兴趣。这次审查,第一次,全面总结了工业木质素的抗菌活性及其潜在的抗菌应用。
