lignotselluloosist
Lignotselluloosist, often referred to as lignocellulose, is a complex biopolymer that forms the primary structural component of plant cell walls. It is a composite material primarily composed of three main constituents: cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Cellulose, a linear polysaccharide of glucose units, provides tensile strength. Hemicellulose, a branched polysaccharide with a more complex sugar composition, acts as a cross-linking agent between cellulose microfibrils and lignin. Lignin, a phenolic polymer, provides rigidity and resistance to biological and chemical degradation, essentially acting as a glue that binds the cellulose and hemicellulose together.
This abundant and renewable resource is found in virtually all woody and herbaceous plants, making it a
