  • More about Enzymes in the Valorization of Waste: Enzymatic Pretreatment of Waste for Development of Enzyme-based Biorefinery

Enzymes play a crucial role in the valorization of waste by facilitating the pre-treatment of biomass. This book explores the role of key delignifying enzymes (Laccase, MnP, LiP, and LPMOs) in biomass pre-treatment, including their applications in recovering high-value phenolic compounds and value-added compounds. It also highlights the mechanistic approach of enzymatic delignification and discusses the advantages of enzymatic methods over physical and chemical methods.

Enzymes play a crucial role in the valorization of waste through the development of enzyme-based biorefineries. Enzymatic pre-treatment of waste focuses on the role of key delignifying enzymes, such as Laccase, MnP, LiP, and LPMOs, involved in biomass pre-treatment. These enzymes, including hemicellulose, chitinases, and pectinases, are extensively discussed, including enzyme-assisted recovery of high-value phenolic compounds and value-added compounds generated during the pre-treatment process.

The book encompasses broad topics and thematic areas associated with the pre-treatment step of biorefinery, including enzyme-mediated water treatment and its applications in biofuels, biorefineries, and bioconversion. It highlights the mechanistic approach by which enzymes regulate delignification, discusses the advantages of enzymatic delignification over other physical and chemical methods, illustrates the role of enzymes like pectinase and chitinases in breaking down biomass recalcitrance due to the presence of pectin and chitin, and consolidates details on de-lignifying enzymes suitable for biomass pretreatment.

Furthermore, the book explores the role of delignifying enzymes in recovering high-value phenolic compounds during the enzymatic delignification process. This comprehensive resource is designed for Graduate students, researchers, and related industry professionals in Biochemical Engineering, Environmental Science, Wastewater Treatment, Biotechnology, Applied Microbiology, Biomass-Based Biorefinery, Biochemistry, Green Chemistry, Sustainable Development, Waste Treatment, Enzymology, Microbial Biotechnology, and Waste Valorization.
