One step bioconversion of lignin from rice husk to biovanillin by phanerochaete chrysosporium
Rice processing produces two major types of wastes which are rice husk and rice straw. The husk is the outer coat of paddy grain while the straw is the dry stalks of paddy. Burning in landfills, the common rice husk disposal method, is a cause of serious concern on the environment and human health....

Three parameters were studied namely microwave irradiation time, solid loading, and microwave power. At irradiation time of 16.57 min, solid loading of 9.66%, and microwave power of 664.23 Watt, the predicted lignin recovery was at 34.91%.

Rice processing produces two major types of wastes which are rice husk and rice straw. The husk is the outer coat of paddy grain while the straw is the dry stalks of paddy. Burning in landfills, the common rice husk disposal method, is a cause of serious concern on the environment and human health. Despite the effort to fully utilize all the fractions of lignocellulosic biomass, most research only focuses on the cellulose and hemicellulose, whereas the lignin was left as worthless refuse. However, interest in lignin is growing for its abundant phenolic compounds and utilisation in aromatic chemicals such as biovanillin. The research aimed to investigate the potential production of biovanillin from rice husk lignin in submerged batch fermentation using Phanerochaete chrysosporium ATCC 24725.
