Extraction and characterization of biofunctional lignocellulosic fibers from Pulicaria undulata plant and the effect of alkali treatment on their bio-physicochemical properties by Mohammed, Alsafran

“…The raw fibers of P. undulata were rich in cellulose (36.2 %), followed by hemicellulose (30.3 %), lignin (16.2 %), moisture (11.1 %), and pectin (3.9 %). However, the alkali treatment removed 75.7 % of hemicellulose and 50.6 % of lignin from the raw fiber sample and also increased its crystallinity and hydrophobicity. …”
