Extractive Profiling Service

Reliable and Efficient Extractables Analysis Service at Creative Biolabs

Lignocellulose is a recyclable material resource. Creative Biolabs is a leader in life science research, development, analysis, etc. We have an experienced team of professionals and state-of-the-art equipment to analyze Lignocellulose and other Biomass samples for extractives. We have optimized the process of lignocellulosic extractives analysis to provide strong support for our clients' scientific and biomass research work.

Detection equipment
Solvent extractor: It is used to determine the content of extractives including water-soluble and ethanol-soluble extractives in biomass samples such as lignocellulose.
Detection indicator
- Water-soluble extractive content
- Ethanol-soluble extractive content
- Water-insoluble but ethanol-soluble extractive content
- Exhaustive extractive content (i.e., the total content of water-insoluble but ethanol-soluble extractives and water-soluble extractives)
Detection steps
- The moisture content is determined in the sample.
- We extract water-soluble and ethanol-soluble extractives from the sample by solvent extractor.
- We calculate the amount of each extractive contained in the sample (water-soluble extractive, ethanol-soluble extractive, water-insoluble but ethanol-soluble extractive, and exhaustive extractive) by the mass loss in the sample caused by extraction.

Our goal is to accelerate the analysis and utilization of biomass samples such as lignocellulose by our clients. Like our Ash Content Analysis, Lignin Content Analysis, Starch Content Analysis, etc., our extractive analysis method is equally efficient and provides accurate results. We also identify and quantify the components of the extractives if the client requires further analysis.

Creative Biolabs facilitates lignocellulosic and other biomass analyses for our clients by providing specialized extractive analysis services. We help clients to interpret all the results in our analyses. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about extractive analysis.

Published data

The characterization of lignocellulosic composition requires the analysis of ethanol extract, water extract, ash, etc., from it. In this study, two lignocellulosic feedstocks (corn stover and sugarcane bagasse) were analyzed for their composition, including water and ethanol extractives, lignin, ash, etc. Through the comparison of the compositional analysis data, the researchers summarized some considerations in the analysis of biomass materials such as lignocellulose to support the extractive analysis of biomass. Also, this study provided a demonstration for us to analyze lignocellulosic extracts.

FAQs

Q1: What is the significance of extractive analysis for bioconversion and processing of lignocellulose?

A1: Biomass extractive analysis helps to assess the quality and composition of biomass such as lignocellulose. Meanwhile, extractive analysis also plays a vital role in studying the potential applications of lignocellulose and optimizing the processing.

Q2: What methods are commonly used in biomass extractive analysis?

A2: Common methods for biomass extractive analysis include solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, and so on. Each method has its advantages and needs to be selected according to the characteristics of the biomass sample and the target compounds.
