Summary: In this study, a two-step hydrothermal pretreatment combined with alkali extraction method was used to deconstruct poplar cell walls for enzymatic hydrolysis, resulting in the removal of a significant amount of hemicelluloses and lignin. Confocal Raman microscopy revealed that hemicelluloses were unevenly removed from cell walls, mainly originating from the secondary wall. Water-soluble hemicelluloses were found to have a more branched structure compared to alkali-soluble hemicelluloses, with a linear backbone of (1 -> 4)-beta-D-Xylp and 4-O-Me-alpha-d-GlcpA side chains identified in hemicelluloses isolated from poplar. This work provides an efficient pathway to convert poplar into fermentable sugars and hemicelluloses with significant yield.

Summary: This paper used five different types of biosurfactants to enhance the saccharification efficiency in the enzymatic hydrolysis process. The addition of sophorolipid increased the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency by 30.65%, while the combination of sophorolipid and tea saponin further increased the efficiency to 99.56%. These biosurfactants acted synergistically to inhibit enzymatic inactivation and non-productive adsorption of lignin. This study proposes an effective method to improve enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency and reduce enzyme dosage by utilizing biosurfactants.

Summary: A novel process for simultaneous production of furfural and pretreatment of oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) was developed. Mass transfer analysis suggested that internal diffusion could be neglected, while heating stage could not be neglected due to significant solubilization of xylan. Steam intermittent discharging strategy was developed to increase furfural yield. The pretreated solids showed good enzymatic digestibility, and high glucose yield was obtained. Non-isothermal effects on polysaccharide hydrolysis and pentose decomposition should be considered for an efficient process design.

Summary: This study investigates the life cycle water consumption of bio-ethanol production through bio-oil direct or indirect fermentation based on a distributed-centralized model. The results show that bio-oil indirect fermentation consumes 202 and 888 L water per GJ bio-ethanol, while bio-oil direct fermentation consumes 206 and 2200 L water per GJ bio-ethanol, depending on the allocation method used. Sensitivity analysis reveals that bio-ethanol yield and co-product yield have the greatest impact on water consumption. The distributed-centralized model contributes to a slight reduction in water consumption compared to the non-distributed model.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
