Chisomo Mussa

Thank you, Keerthi

Mariana Paiva

You could use the Kurschner-Hoffer method to determine cellulose. For lignin try the Tappi T222. If you also determine extractives, you can discover the hemicelluloses content by difference

Hello Mariana, could you provide me with a link or send me a copy of that to my email, [email protected]

sure

Tamer YA Fahmy

The below mentioned researcher has many articles on extraction of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin from many types of biomass. Happy new year.
