    Oxidation of the erythro and threo forms of the phenolic lignin model compound 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1,3-propanediol by laccases and model oxidants2009In: Bioorganic chemistry (Print), ISSN 0045-2068, Vol. 37, no 5, p. 143-148Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Mixtures of equal amounts of the erythro and threo forms of the phenolic arylglycerol β-aryl ether 1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1,3-propanediol were oxidized (i) with laccases from Trametes versicolor, Agaricus bisporus, Myceliophthora thermophila and Rhus vernicifera, (ii) with laccase-mediator systems consisting of T. versicolor laccase and ABTS or HBT, and (iii) with various model oxidants including cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN), lignin peroxidase, Fenton’s reagent, and lead(IV) tetraacetate (LTA). All the laccases exhibited a similar preferential degradation of the threo form. The mediator ABTS counteracted the threo preference of laccase, but the mediator HBT did not affect it. The outer-sphere model oxidants CAN and lignin peroxidase showed a preferential degradation of the threo form. LTA and Fenton’s reagent did not exhibit any stereo-preference. The results suggest that laccases of different origin, primary structure, and redox potential behave as typical outer-sphere oxidants in their interaction with the diastereomers of the arylglycerol β-aryl ether

    Determination of Distribution of Fines in a Paper Structure using Fluorescence Microscopy and Image Analysis2010Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract

    When making paper a sheet is formed by draining a specific amount of dilute water suspension of pulp through a wire-cloth. The procedure is well known but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The different particles such as fines, fibers, retention aids and other additives interact with each other during the process. These interactions are important since they impact the properties of the formed paper. The fibers have different sizes and the finest particle fraction is called fines. The fines used in this study are from bleached kraft pulp and are therefore oxidized to some extent.

    By labelling the fines with a fluorophore the movements of individual fines can be followed with video-based fluorescence microscopy even if the size of the fines is below the microscopes resolution limit. [1-3] The fluorophores that has been used are N-Methylisatoic anhydride and fluorescein-5-thiosemicarbazide. N-Methylisatoic anhydride reacts directly with hydroxyl groups on the cellulose chain. Fluorescein-5-thiosemicarbazide reacts with groups like aldehydes and ketones in the cellulose chain, so the chain has to be oxidized before the labeling process. These two fluorephores have different absorption and emission wavelengths. [4]

    The methods for labeling the fibers are easy to perform. The labeled fiber can be seen in the microscope. One problem is that the fibers aggregate, probably due to the method used for labeling. Another problem can be the fading of the flourophores. Both problems will be further investigated. [5]

    The elevated drying process in the paper machine makes it difficult to understand the mechanisms involved. Within this project the understanding will be built up in many steps. The first step is to study the labeled fibers in water. A model system containing fibers and latex will be used to study the behavior in different environments such as different electrolyte concentration and pH.

    Normal and anomalous diffusion2010Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract

    Brownian motion is perhaps best described as the never-ceasing phenomenon responsible for

    self-diffusion occurring although there is no temperature or concentration gradients. The

    distribution of the steps P(r) is vital in order to see the underlying mechanism of diffusion.

    Normal diffusion is characterised by having Gaussian distributions of the step lengths.

    Diffusion can be classified as either normal or anomalous depending on how the mean square

    displacement is related to time:



    If a = 1, diffusion is classified as normal diffusion. With a > 1 , there is superdiffusion. When

    a < 1 , subdiffusion takes place. In order to replace normal diffusion by anomalous diffusion,

    pathologies must be present. Most anomalous diffusion takes the shape of subdiffusion

    [1, 2].

    Video-based fluorescence microscopy is the basis for all experimental work and has

    successfully been used earlier [3-5]. For each concentration the trajectories of 60 probes were

    determined using the built-in Particle Analysis function in Aquacosmos 2.6. The 6000 data

    points collected were used to extract both the coefficient G and the exponenta .

    Relatively few studies have been devoted to tell normal diffusion from anomalous diffusion in

    real chemical systems. In this study the probe is a fluorescent labeled latex particle, the matrix

    was changed in different ways. Unlabelled latex particles, DoTAB (a cationic surfactant),

    cationic starch of different molecular weight were all used to alter the sample.

    The conclusion is that it is safe to assume a = 1 in all cases except for very high

    concentrations of starch, where diffusion is hindered by the viscous matrix, which gives rise

    to subdiffusion. Moreover, all distributions are Gaussian except for the highest concentrations

    of starch and latex. In these latter cases, distributions appear as truncated normal distributions

    [6,7].

    Evaluation of the potential of fungal and plant laccases for active-packaging applications2011In: Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, ISSN 0021-8561, E-ISSN 1520-5118, Vol. 59, no 10, p. 5390-5395Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Laccases from Trametes versicolor (TvL), Myceliophthora thermophila (MtL), and Rhus vernicifera (RvL) were investigated with regard to their potential utilization as oxygen scavengers in active packages containing food susceptible to oxidation reactions. The substrate selectivity of the laccases was investigated with a set of 17 reducing substrates, mainly phenolic compounds. The temperature dependence of reactions performed at low temperatures (4-31 C) was studied. Furthermore, the laccases were subjected to immobilization in a latex/clay matrix and drying procedures performed at temperatures up to 105 C. The results show that it is possible to immobilize the laccases with retained activity after dispersion coating, drying at 75-105 C, and subsequent storage of the enzyme-containing films at 4 C. TvL and, to some extent, MtL were promiscuous with regard to their reducing substrate, in the sense that the difference in activity with the 17 substrates tested was relatively small. RvL, on the other hand, showed high selectivity, primarily toward substrates resembling its natural substrate urushiol. When tested at 7 C, all three laccases retained 20% of the activity they had at 25 C, which suggests that it would be possible to utilize the laccases also in refrigerated food packages. Coating and drying resulted in a remaining enzymatic activity ranging from 18 to 53%, depending on the drying conditions used. The results indicate that laccases are useful for active-packaging applications and that the selectivity for reducing substrates is an important characteristic of laccases from different sources. 2011 American Chemical Society.

    Abstract [en]

    The compression ability of fibres and fibre networks were investigated. The surface and bulk compressions of paper influence calendering, coating, surface sizing ability and the penetration of ink in printing. Two kraft pulps (spruce) were produced in the laboratory to obtain pulps with different levels of xylan. Using those kraft pulps alone or mixed with 50% of a commercial TMP pulp, single-layer sheets were formed in a Formette Dynamique sheet former. The pulps and mixture levels were chosen to obtain papers with systematically altered property variation but with constant grammage. The papers were characterized according to both bulk and surface compressibility. The papers were printed in a flexo IGTF1 laboratory printing press and the transferred amount of ink, dot gain, and mottling were analyzed.

    Effect of calendering on the compressibility of papers made with fibre of various properties2010Conference paper (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
    Abstract [en]

    The surface and bulk compressibility of a given paper influence its calendering, coating, surface sizing and printing properties. This study aims at a deeper knowledge of which variable affects the compressibility of paper sheets and how calendering effect different sheet properties. The pulps were characterized by their chemical compositions and physical properties. The bulk compressibility, the surface compressibility and the thickness were evaluated both before and after calendering

    Influence of paperboard on bond formation and strength of adhesive joint2009Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract

    Knowledge about the glueability of fiber-based materials is limited. Factors affecting the adhesive joint between adhesive and paperboard are presented here through two cases: strength of hot melt adhesive joint and consolidation of dispersion adhesive. The hot melt joint was investigated by Y-peel testing, while shear testing was applied for dispersion adhesives. A set of supplementing tools was used to understand the adhesive joints, their development and failure. The results show, for example, the importance of paperboard roughness on the hot melt joint strength. Formation of an adhesive joint with dispersion adhesives is affected by the rheological properties of the adhesive layer and the structure and absorbation properties of the board surface. Both case studies indicate that it can actually be better to apply the adhesive first on a rough surface and the press the smooth surface on the adhesive, which is in contrast with the common practice today

    Latex particle behavior studied in the wet state with fluorescence microscopy2010Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract

    Dispersions of latex are often used as model systems due to the well known properties of the latex particles. They can be made with a monodisperse distribution, different extent of cross linking and different surface charges. The behavior of latex particles in the wet state is important for both film formation and understanding what happens in the system when different additives are introduced. Latex is used in many different blends and one common additive is surfactants, both for stabilization during manufacturing and for adjusting the system features in different applications. A suitable method for studying latex dispersions in wet state is fluorescence microscopy. By adding latex particles with similar size and charge, marked with a fluorophore, particle movements can be followed even if the particle radius is below microscope resolution limit. This can be used for studying particle behavior in dispersions with different additives, in order to see how the additives affect the latex particles.



    By measuring the latex particles displacement, diffusion coefficients can be determined. This has been successfully used for both high and low latex volume fractions [1-3]. Since surfactants are a common additive, the focus in our studies lies on interactions between surfactants and negatively charged latex. When DoTAB (dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide), a cationic surfactant, is added to the latex dispersion, an interesting behavior can be seen. Both diffusion coefficients and conductivity measurements show that at a certain concentration, when DoTAB has neutralized the latex particles, aggregates are formed. When the DoTAB concentration is raised even more, the aggregates dissolve. Light scattering measurements give the same indications.



    Combined with other studies, such as film formation, the particle behavior gives important information about what happens in the system when different concentration of both latex and additives are used.

    Study of starch and starch-PVOH blends and effects of plasticizers on mechanical and barrier properties of coated paperboard2016In: Nordic Pulp & Paper Research Journal, ISSN 0283-2631, E-ISSN 2000-0669, Vol. 31, no 3, p. 499-510Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The mechanical properties of self-supporting films based on starch-plasticizer and starch-PVOH-plasticizer and the barrier properties of paperboard coated with solutions of these polymers have been studied. The plasticizers used were glycerol, polyethylene glycol and citric acid. It was shown that the addition of a plasticizer and PVOH to starch substantially increases the flexibility of starch films. It was seen that curing the self-supporting films led to a decrease in flexibility. After heat-treatment, a substantial increase in storage modulus was observed only in the starch-PVOH-citric-acid blend films. Tensile tests on the films indicate that citric acid did not cause any noticeable phase separation. Citric acid acted as a compatibilizer for starch-PVOH blends even though a similar enrichment of PVOH at the air-solid interface was observed with both citric acid and polyethylene glycol as plasticizer. The properties of barrier coatings greatly reflected the compatibility of starch-PVOH blends containing citric acid. The only plasticizer that resulted in a lower water vapour transmission rate through the starch and starch-PVOH coatings was citric acid, which suggests that cross-linking took place. With four layers, coatings based of starch-PVOH possessed the same oxygen-transmission rate with citric acid as without citric acid.

    The effects of coating structure and water-holding capacity on the oxygen-scavenging ability of enzymes embedded in the coating layer2013In: TAPPI Journal, ISSN 0734-1415, Vol. 12, no 6, p. 43-52Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Enzymes catalyzing oxygen scavenging were embedded in latex-based coatings with and without barrier kaolin clay to produce material for active packages. The clay was used to create a porous structure, and the closed-structure matrix consisted of a biopolymer comprising either starch or gelatin to increase the water uptake of the coating. The effects of the porous open structure and of the water uptake of the coated layer on the oxygen-scavenging ability of the embedded enzymes were examined at both 75% and 100% relative humidity. The results showed that the porous clay structure led to higher oxygen-scavenging capacity than that of a closed structure at both test conditions by enabling a high diffusion rate for oxygen and glucose to the active sites of the enzymes. The addition of a water-holding biopolymer did not always significantly affect the oxygen-scavenging capacity. However for a less-porous layer at 100% relative humidity, an increase in the amount of biopolymer resulted in an increase in oxygen-scavenging capacity. The results were treated statistically using multiple-factor analysis where the most important factor for the oxygen-scavenging ability was found to be the addition of clay. The coatings were also characterized with respect to water vapor uptake, overall migration, porosity, and scanning electron microscopy images.

    Comparison of lignin derivatives as substrates for laccase-catalyzed scavenging of oxygen in coatings and films2014In: Journal of Biological Engineering, E-ISSN 1754-1611, Vol. 8, article id 1Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Lignin derivatives are phenylpropanoid biopolymers derived from pulping and biorefinery processes. The possibility to utilize lignin derivatives from different types of processes in advanced enzyme-catalyzed oxygen-scavenging systems intended for active packaging was explored. Laccase-catalyzed oxidation of alkali lignin (LA), hydrolytic lignin (LH), organosolv lignin (LO), and lignosulfonates (LS) was compared using oxygen-scavenging coatings and films in liquid and gas phase systems. Results: When coatings containing lignin derivatives and laccase were immersed in a buffered aqueous solution, the oxygen-scavenging capability increased in the order LO < LH < LA < LS. Experiments with coatings containing laccase and LO, LH or LA incubated in oxygen-containing gas in air-tight chambers and at a relative humidity (RH) of 100% showed that paperboard coated with LO and laccase reduced the oxygen content from 1.0% to 0.4% during a four-day period, which was far better than the results obtained with LA or LH. LO-containing coatings incubated at 92% RH also displayed activity, with a decrease in oxygen from 1.0% to 0.7% during a four-day period. The oxygen scavenging was not related to the content of free phenolic hydroxyl groups, which increased in the order LO < LS < LH < LA. LO and LS were selected for further studies and films containing starch, clay, glycerol, laccase and LO or LS were characterized using gel permeation chromatograpy, dynamic mechanical analysis, and wet stability. Conclusions: The investigation shows that different lignin derivatives exhibit widely different properties as a part of active coatings and films. Results indicate that LS and LO were most suitable for the application studied and differences between them were attributed to a higher degree of laccase-catalyzed cross-linking of LS than of LO. Inclusion in active-packaging systems offers a new way to utilize some types of lignin derivatives from biorefining processes.

    Oxygen scavenging enzymes in coatings: Effect of coating procedures on enzyme activity2011In: Nordic Pulp & Paper Research Journal, ISSN 0283-2631, E-ISSN 2000-0669, Vol. 26, no 2, p. 197-204Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The oxygen content in food packaging may be reduced by attaching oxygen scavengers to the packaging material. The critical parameters that determine the oxygen-scavenging ability of an enzyme-based coating i.e. pH, heat and coating color formulation were evaluated. Glucose oxidase, catalase and glucose were added to latex dispersions in the preparation of the coating colors. The enzymes were entrapped in the coating layers after coating and drying. The clay concentration and drying conditions were varied and the enzymatic activity of the coated layer was evaluated. The need for a pH-buffered system was also studied and the results indicated that, when using a carboxylated latex of a standard coating grade, a buffered system was not needed. A rapid drying at a high temperature was preferred over a slow drying at a low temperature in order to prevent pre-oxidation of the substrate in the wet coating color. The scavenging capacity of the coating was dependent on the amount of substrate for the enzyme reaction left after complete drying. The concentration of clay in the coating formulation was shown to have a marked impact on the oxygen-scavenging ability of the coated layer. The enzyme activity was increased by the addition of clay up to a pigment volume concentration (PVC) of ca. 10%. At higher concentrations of clay, the enzyme activity decreased until the critical pigment volume concentration (CPVC) was reached, probably due to the prevention of diffusion of oxygen and consumption of glucose in the coating process before the layer was completely dried. Further additions of clay above the CPVC resulted in an increased enzyme activity, probably due to the creation of a porous structure.

    Extruded polymer films for optimal enzyme-catalyzed oxygen scavenging2014In: Chemical Engineering Science, ISSN 0009-2509, E-ISSN 1873-4405, Vol. 108, p. 1-8Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The use of enzymes as oxygen scavengers has a great potential in the food packaging industry. Enzymes can be incorporated into a coating layer that can be applied directly onto the packaging material. For the system to be fully functional, there is however a need for the packaging to have some barrier properties, to be sealable through heat, and to ensure low or no migration of the active coating to the food. Various combinations of the polypropylene (PP), poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) were extruded onto board coated with the oxygen-scavenging enzyme. Properties such as oxygen-transmission rate, water-vapor transmission rate, heat-sealability, migration and oxygen scavenging capacity were evaluated. All combinations of extruded material resulted in a packaging material able to scavenge the oxygen at both 84% and 100% relative humidity. The greatest decrease in oxygen concentration of the head space of air-tight chambers was achieved with the material extruded with PLA on at least one side. It was found that the extruded plastic is necessary in order to meet the EU directives on migration from food packaging materials of not more than a total of 10 mg/dm2 material. All plastics were heat sealable against themselves but not against any of the other plastics and only LDPE adhered strongly to the enzyme-containing coating

    Oxygen-scavenging coatings and films based on lignosulfonates and laccase2012In: Journal of Biotechnology, ISSN 0168-1656, Vol. 161, no 1, p. 14-18Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Laccase and lignosulfonates were included in coating colors and embedded in latex-based or starch-based films and coatings on foil or board. After 6 days at 23C and 100% relative humidity, the oxygen content in airtight chambers decreased from 1.0% (synthetic gas consisting of 99% N2 and 1% O2) to 0.3% in the presence of board coated with lignosulfonate and laccase, while the oxygen content remained unchanged in control experiments without enzyme. The water stability of lignosulfonate-containing latex-based coatings and starch-based films was improved after laccase-catalyzed oxidation of lignosulfonates, which indicates polymerization to products with lower solubility in water. Furthermore, the E' modulus of starch-based films increased with 30%, which indicates laccase-catalyzed polymerization of lignosulfonates resulting in increased stiffness of the film. The results suggest that laccases and lignosulfonates can be used as an oxygen-scavenging system in active packaging and that enzyme-catalyzed polymerization of lignosulfonates contributes to improved water stability and mechanical properties. 2012 Elsevier B.V.

    Latex-based barrier dispersion coating on linerboard: Flexographic multilayering versus single step conventional coating technology2015In: Nordic Pulp & Paper Research Journal, ISSN 0283-2631, E-ISSN 2000-0669, Vol. 30, no 2, p. 349-359Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of using the flexographic printing process for the deposition of multilayered latex-based barrier dispersion coatings on linerboard to improve its moisture barrier properties. A coating formulation developed for a conventional coater has been tested using a flexographic printing web press. The performance of multi-layering of up to six layers was compared with a single step conventional coating process in terms of runnability and barrier performance. A commercial linerboard was used as substrate for both processes. The coated linerboard samples were examined using scanning electron microscopy and surface profiling, and were characterized with respect to their coating grammage, WVTR and water absorption (Cobb(120)) properties. The impact of waxes on water absorption was also investigated for the two coating strategies. The results show that for a similar total coating grammage ( about 6 g m(-2)), samples coated using the flexographic press showed better barrier performance and less cracks on the coated surfaces than samples coated using a conventional coating process.

    Superhydrophobic paper coating containing nonconventional clay2010In: TAPPI Journal, ISSN 0734-1415, Vol. 9, no 11, p. 33-40Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Hydrophobic clay fillers have not been widely used in dispersion coatings for linerboard because of the difficulty of dispersing them in water. This work investigated whether hydrophobic clay can be used as filler in barrier dispersion coatings. Hydrophobic clay was compared with conventional clay in terms of coating consolidation, structure, wetting, and barrier performance. All coatings were applied to linerboard sheets made using a laboratory dynamic sheet former. The coated linerboards were examined using scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, and were characterized with respect to water absorption, vapor transmission rate, and contact angles. The results show that a coating containing hydrophobic clay provides a superhydrophobic character to paper; i.e., a high water contact angle (150 degrees) and relatively low water absorption. Raman mapping of cross-sections revealed that the latex distribution is uniform in the presence of either conventional clay or hydrophobic clay, and that the distribution of hydrophobic clay tends to be more uniform than conventional clay, which might reflect good mixing and consolidation of hydrophobic clay.
