| Summary: | Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) extraction from Musa paradisiaca (MP) pseudo stem by alkaline treatment and their properties were examined in the current research work. One of the most well-known types of lignin biomass waste that is readily available globally is MP. In many nations, including Taiwan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, India, and the Philippines, these plants have been used for traditional reasons. Whole plant parts have been used as food, including the pseudo-stem, flower buds, trunk, fruits, and leaves. Sequestration of cellulose was attained by alkaline treatment and bleaching from raw fibers. Cellulose fiber is a biodegradable, naturally occurring, and renewable polymer that is used in a variety of industries, including the food, paper, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical sectors. The cellulose obtained from forest and agricultural residue has numerous advantages such as being environmentally safe, recyclable, and economically feasible respectively. The main process of cellulose extraction from MP pseudo stem are digesting process using a digester, bleaching, and neutralization which shows a zero-waste process. The alkali treatment takes less time to get a final product whereas enzyme treatment, and steam explosion treatment takes high energy and more cost. Hence, cellulose extract from alkaline treatment is economically feasible and environmentally friendly. |
