Abstract Background Peroxyacetic acid involved chemical pretreatment is effective in lignocellulose deconstruction and oxidation. However, these peroxyacetic acid are usually artificially added. Our previous work has shown that the newly developed PHP pretreatment (phosphoric acid plus hydrogen peroxide) is promising in lignocellulose biomass fractionation through an aggressive oxidation process, while the information about the synergistic effect between H3PO4 and H2O2 is quite lack, especially whether some strong oxidant intermediates is existed. In this work, we reported the PHP pretreatment system could self-generate peroxyacetic acid oxidant, which mediated the overall lignocellulose deconstruction, and hemicellulose/lignin degradation. Results The PHP pretreatment profile on wheat straw and corn stalk were investigated. The pathways/mechanisms of peroxyacetic acid mediated-PHP pretreatment were elucidated through tracing the structural changes of each component. Results showed that hemicellulose was almost completely solubilized and removed, corresponding to about 87.0% cellulose recovery with high digestibility. Rather high degrees of delignification of 83.5% and 90.0% were achieved for wheat straw and corn stalk, respectively, with the aid of peroxyacetic acid oxidation. A clearly positive correlation was found between the concentration of peroxyacetic acid and the extent of lignocellulose deconstruction. Peroxyacetic acid was mainly self-generated through H2O2 oxidation of acetic acid that was produced from hemicellulose deacetylation and lignin degradation. The self-generated peroxyacetic acid then further contributed to lignocellulose deconstruction and delignification. Conclusions The synergistic effect of H3PO4 and H2O2 in the PHP solvent system could efficiently deconstruct wheat straw and corn stalk lignocellulose through an oxidation-mediated process. The main function of H3PO4 was to deconstruct biomass recalcitrance and degrade hemicellulose through acid hydrolysis, while the function of H2O2 was to facilitate the formation of peroxyacetic acid. Peroxyacetic acid with stronger oxidation ability was generated through the reaction between H2O2 and acetic acid, which was released from xylan and lignin oxidation/degradation. This work elucidated the generation and function of peroxyacetic acid in the PHP pretreatment system, and also provide useful information to tailor peroxide-involved pretreatment routes, especially at acidic conditions.

Abstract A method for the direct determination of rubber is reported. This method utilizes the property of rubber hydrocarbon when oxidized by chromic acid to form definite and reproducible amounts of acetic acid. This determination has been reduced to a comparatively simple laboratory procedure, whose accuracy (in the absence of interferences) is 1 to 2 per cent.

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a powerful plant growth regulator. The oxidative decarboxylation of IAA by plant peroxidases is thought to be a major degradation reaction involved in controlling the in vivo level of IAA. Horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme C and an anionic tobacco peroxidase isolated from transgenic Nicotiana sylvestris have been used in experiments in vitro designed to determine the mechanism of IAA oxidation. In particular, the initial reduction of ferric to ferrous enzyme, a key step in previously proposed mechanisms, has been investigated by rapid-scan stopped-flow spectrophotometry under strictly anaerobic conditions and at defined oxygen concentrations. The data provide the first evidence for a ternary complex comprising peroxidase, IAA and oxygen that is kinetically competent both at the initiation stage and during the catalytic cycle of IAA oxidation. A general scheme describing the oxidative cycles of both anionic and cationic peroxidases is proposed that includes native ferric enzyme and compound II as kinetically competent intermediates. For anionic peroxidases, addition of hydrogen peroxide switches on the oxidative cycle thereby promoting IAA oxidation. 2-Methyl-IAA is not a substrate of the oxidase reaction, suggesting a specific interaction between plant peroxidases and IAA.
