Abstract
The effects of xylanase pretreatment of high lignin content softwood (SW) kraft pulp on subsequent pulp treatment with laccase in combination with gallic acid were investigated. Although xylanase pretreatment was ineffective in enhancing the laccase-facilitated biografting of gallic acid to kraft fibers, it was beneficial for subsequent treatment with laccase exclusively. Treating pulp fibers with xylanase followed by laccase provided a collective 25% and 46% increase in dry and wet tensile strength properties, respectively.
