Resumo

Lignocellulosic biomass represents an abundant and eco-friendly material widely explored in recent years. The main lignocellulosic fractions include cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Nonetheless, the heterogeneity and complexity of these components pose challenges in achieving the desired properties. Conversely, their attractive functional groups can covalently link with other biomolecules, facilitating the creation and enhancement of material properties. Lignocellulosic molecules can form different linkages with other biomolecules through classic and modern methods. Bioconjugation has emerged as a suitable alternative to create new nuances, empowering the linkage between lignocellulosic materials and biomolecules through linkers. These conjugates (lignocellulosic-linkers-biomolecules) attract attention from stakeholders in medicine, chemistry, biology, and agriculture. The plural formations of these biocomplexes highlight the significance of these arrangements. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the progress of lignocellulosic-biomolecule complexes and discusses different types of covalent bioconjugated systems, considering the formation of linkers, applicability, toxicity, and future challenges. Lignocellulosic-biomolecule conjugated systems represent potential eco-friendly materials applicable across various fields, including medicine, environmental sciences, food packaging, and agriculture.
