Lignocellulose

Lignocellulose is the complex structural material found in plant cell walls, primarily composed of three components: cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. It provides plants with rigidity and strength. Cellulose fibers are chains of sugar molecules, hemicellulose is a branched sugar polymer, and lignin acts as a cementing substance, giving plants durability. Because of its abundance and renewable nature, lignocellulose is a valuable resource for producing biofuels, bioplastics, and other bio-based products through specialized processing techniques.
