Development of new enzymatic products for optimization of paperproperties.
number of industrial processes, as well as on papermaking productivity. Such
impacts have to be considered too in the emerging field of biorefining (production or
extraction of high value products from forest biomass). The main partner to this
project (Buckman Canada) has successfully introduced enzymes to the paper industry,
but would like to expand its offering to the forest industry as a whole. Our goal is to
develop a new method that will allow for specific monitoring of synergies among
various enzymes, using fluorescence spectroscopy. We intend to develop new
formulations and demonstrate their effectiveness on industrial substrates. Our
success will help Buckman Canada and Kruger reinforce their leadership position in
application of green chemistry in the forest biomass products sector.
