Abstract:
Lignin is the second most abundant natural biopolymer and its wastes are significant sources for renewable chemicals as an alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Consequently, chemical characterization methods are required to assess the content of valuable chemicals contained in these complex lignin wastes. This short overview summarizes rapid data-processing methods developed in our laboratory for application to full-scan raw data from high-resolution mass spectrometry experiments of decomposed lignin samples. The discussed graphical and statistical methods support the initial classification and elucidation of the main structural features of the lignin components without the need for time-consuming tandem mass spectrometry analyses.
