Biotechnology Application in Wood Industry: Utilization of Phenol Oxidase Enzyme as a Renewable Binder in MDF Manufacture

Enzymatic activation of lignin on pinewood TMP (Thermo-Mechanical Pulp) fibers for MDF production was investigated using electronic microscopic technique. Two systems: laccase mediator and laccase without mediator were used. MDF was made with laccase as biological catalysts in both wet and dry proce...
