Following a similar approach to Ludwig’s group, they first assigned the chemical shifts of carbon atoms from various model compounds and then characterized MWL from beech and spruce. , 2004). Briefly, the chemical shifts associated with different sets of equivalent carbon are located in different regions of the spectrum, as shown in Table 3. For example, the chemical shifts found from 160 to 100 ppm represent carbon atoms from aromatics, and this region is subdivided into three regions: aromatic carbon attached to oxygen (160e141 ppm), alkyl group (141e125 ppm), and hydrogen (125e103 ppm).
Hence, the quantitative results are reported as moieties/100 phenylpropane units. Following this method, Kadla’s group compared the amount of various linkages and functional groups in MWL and cellulolytic enzyme lignin (CEL) from loblolly pine. , 2004). The results indicated that a higher amount of condensed structures and a lower amount of beOe4 linkages were found in MWL compared to CEL. , 2004). In addition, these analyses may be the source of serious bias when quantifying moieties in processed lignin, altered or genetically modified lignins as the resulting materials contain degraded side chains and fragmented aromatic rings.
