Influence of synthesis variables on the physicochemical properties of lignin-derived cryogels for levulinic acid production from oil palm mesocarp fiber

Key Points

• Lignin-derived cryogels exhibit varying physicochemical properties depending on synthesis variables.
• For instance, the optimal synthesis temperature improved levulinic acid yield by 30%.
• Assessment focused on the effects of different synthesis approaches to enhance cryogel efficacy.
• These findings indicate the importance of synthesis variables for maximizing levulinic acid production efficiency.
