ligninille
Ligninille is a proposed but not yet officially recognized term, likely derived from "lignin." Lignin is a complex organic polymer found in the cell walls of plants, providing rigidity and structural support. It is a major component of wood, second only to cellulose. Lignin is a highly branched and amorphous molecule, making it difficult to break down and process compared to other plant polymers. Its chemical structure is based on phenylpropane units, which can be linked in various ways, leading to a diverse range of lignin types depending on the plant species.
The term "ligninille" might refer to a specific derivative, a modified form of lignin, or a related
