Evaluation of Lignins of Trunk and Roots from Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck: A Larg...
Porto,Deyvid S.; Forim,Moacir R.; Costa,Eveline S.; Fernandes,João B.; Silva,Maria F. G. F. daCitrus biomass is a source of biobased products and presents extensive chemical diversity. Among the structural macromolecules, lignins have been used in resins, bioplastics, and nanoencapsulation. Brazil has a large source of lignins, which are orange trees removed from groves that need to be renewed. However, the knowledge about these lignins is limited and little explored. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate t...
Use of Lignins from Sugarcane Bagasse for Assembling Microparticles Loaded with...
Costa,Eveline S.; Perlatti,Bruno; Silva,Everton M. da; Matos,Andreia P.; Silva,Maria Fátima G. F. da; Fernandes,João B.; Zuin,Vânia G.Microcapsules of sugarcane bagasse lignin loaded with organic extracts of neem (Azadirachta indica) were prepared and evaluated as potential bioinsecticides. Lignins were extracted and modified by oxidation and acetylation reactions providing different biopolymers. Afterwards, they were characterized through several analytical techniques. The formulations were initially prepared as colloidal suspension of ligni...
