  • Uso of Cyclodextrin for Reducing Yellowing of Pulp and Paper
    Publication number: 20080041541
    Abstract: The present invention relates the problem of color formation during paper production resulting in yellowing/brightness reversion of the pulp or the paper. This yellowing/brightness reversion can be reduced by the method of the present invention, which method relates to reducing yellowing of pulp and paper comprising adding or generating cyclodextrin to the pulp before or during washing.
