Characteristics of Microcrystalline Cellulose from Coir Fibers
This work aimed to extract and characterize microcrystalline cellulose from coir fibers. Extraction was achieved in a two-step process in which the coir fibers were treated with sodium hydroxide for 3 h at 100°C followed by bleaching with peracetic acid to remove residual lignin and hemicellulose.
