Ngl that's a really interesting idea.
Also, there's a typo in the article. They call it both "LignaSat" and "LignoSat," but I'm reasonably confident the actual name is "LigmaSat."
Lignin is a major protein in wood, so LignoSat or LignaSat would make sense. LigmaSat loses that relationship with wood. I think LignoSat is probably correct.
