[PMID: 37028661 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.163316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Small particles of size ranging from 1 to 100 nm are referred to as nanoparticles. Nanoparticles have tremendous applications in various sectors, including the areas of food and pharmaceutics. They are being prepared from multiple natural sources widely. Lignin is one such source that deserves special mention due to its ecological compatibility, accessibility, abundance, and low cost. This amorphous heterogeneous phenolic polymer is the second most abundant molecule in nature after cellulose. Apart from being used as a biofuel source, lignin is less explored for its potential at a nano-level. In plants, lignin exhibits cross-linking structures with cellulose and hemicellulose. Numerous advancements have taken place in synthesizing nanolignins for manufacturing lignin-based materials to benefit from the untapped potential of lignin in high-value-added applications. Lignin and lignin-based nanoparticles have numerous applications, but in this review, we are mainly focusing on the applications in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. The exercise we undertake has great relevance as it helps scientists and industries gain valuable insights into lignin's capabilities and exploit its physical and chemical properties to facilitate the development of future lignin-based materials. We have summarized the available lignin resources and their potential in the food and pharmaceutical industries at various levels. This review attempts to understand various methods adopted for the preparation of nanolignin. Furthermore, the unique properties of nano-lignin-based materials and their applications in fields including the packaging industry, emulsions, nutrient delivery, drug delivery hydrogels, tissue engineering, and biomedical applications were well-discussed.

Effect of the incorporation of lignin microparticles on the properties of the thermoplastic starch/pectin blend obtained by extrusion. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 180:262-271. [PMID: 33737182 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.03.076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Revised: 03/01/2021] [Accepted: 03/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The present study aimed to produce thermoplastic starch films with different concentrations of thermoplastic pectin and the addition of 4% lignin microparticles as a reinforcing and active agent. The pectin improved the modulus of elasticity, and decreased the elongation at break. In addition, it improved the UV light protection to 100% at 320 nm and 95.9% at 400 nm. The incorporation of lignin microparticles improved the thermal stability of the blends made with 25% and 50% thermoplastic pectin when compared to the pectin-free blends. The blend with 25% thermoplastic pectin led to an increase of 75.8% and 34% in elongation at break and deformation of the films, respectively. This blend also improved the UV light protection to 100% due to its dark brown color. Regarding the permeability properties, the films with 25% and 50% thermoplastic pectin showed lower oxygen permeability (48% and 65%) and an increase in the antioxidant activities from 2.7% to 71.08% and 4.1% to 79.28%, respectively. Thus, the polymer blend with 25% thermoplastic pectin with the incorporation of lignin microparticles proved to be a good alternative for use in foods sensitive to the effects of oxygen and UV light.

Abstract
Lignin as the second most abundant and the only polyaromatics-contained bio-polymer in plant has been most studied for various applications. In the past decade, the utilization of lignin for value-added materials has been extensively sought after since lignin valorization represents one of the main challenging issues of the paper industry and lignocellulosic biorefinery. Among these researches, making lignin into hydrogels has great potential for upgrading lignin into functional materials. In this review, lignin hydrogel is wrapped up with preparation strategies, properties and applications. The major cross-linking strategies to synthesize lignin-based hydrogels were reviewed first, including monomers copolymerization, crosslinking of monomers with reactive polymer precursors and polymer-polymer crosslinking. Two most important properties of mechanical and porous structures of lignin hydrogel were then discussed. More importantly, we extensively reviewed current applications of lignin hydrogel, including absorption, controlled release, smart materials for stimuli sensitive, biosensors and electrodes. These applications have paved avenues for lignin valorization. Overall, this paper covers recent advancements regarding lignin-based hydrogel and represents a timely review of this promising material.

Abstract
The surface structure, biocompatibility, textural, and adhesive properties of calcium hydrogels derived from 1, 2, and 4% solutions of apple pectin were examined in this study. An increase in the pectin concentration in hydrogels was shown to improve their stability toward elastic and plastic deformation. The elasticity of pectin hydrogels, measured as Young's modulus, ranged from 6 to 100 kPa. The mechanical properties of the pectin hydrogels were shown to correspond to those of soft tissues. The characterization of surface roughness in terms of the roughness profile (Ra) and the root-mean-square deviation of the roughness profile (Rq) indicated an increased roughness profile for hydrogels depending on their pectin concentration. The adhesion of AU2% and AU4% hydrogels to the serosa abdominal wall, liver, and colon was higher than that of the AU1% hydrogel. The adhesion of macrophages and the non-specific adsorption of blood plasma proteins were found to increase as the pectin concentration in the hydrogels increased. The rate of degradation of all hydrogels was higher in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) than that in DMEM and a fibroblast cell monolayer. The pectin hydrogel was also found to have a low cytotoxicity. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 105A: 2572-2581, 2017.
