Título:	Compositional variability of lignin in biomass
Tipo:	Capítulo de um Livro
Autor(es):	Ana Carina dos Santos Lourenço , Helena Margarida Nunes Pereira
Resumo:	The objective of this chapter is to provide a concise overview of lignin composition and structure in different species and materials (wood, barks and non-wood plants). It includes a brief review on the lignin precursors and their polymerization as well as of the analytical tools used for lignin characterization from wet chemical to spectroscopic methods. Wood of gymnosperms is characterized by high lignin content (25-35%), and a HG-type of lignin with more guaiacyl units (G) and a small portion of p-hydroxyphenyl units (H). Wood of angiosperms has a lignin content of 15-28%, with a GS-lignin with different proportions of syringyl (S) units. Non-woody monocotyledon species have different lignin content (9-20%) and a HGS type of lignin, characterized by a high proportion of H units. Bark lignin content ranges from 13 to 43%, and is of HGS-type with species specific composition and different in the bark components phloem and cork. Lignin composition and macromolecular structure are key issues to understand the properties of lignocellulosic materials and to design a lignin-based pathway within biomass biorefineries. The available information on lignin composition is still limited to a few species and plant components. This is certainly an area where more research is needed.
