Hydrothermal assisted isolation of microcrystalline cellulose from pepper (Piper nigrum L.) processing waste for making sustainable bio-composite
Conversion of industrial pepper bio-waste (PW) to microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was investigated as reinforcement agent of natural polymer bio-composites. The investigation highlighted the importance of hydrothermal assisted alkalization step for efficient separation of cellulose from lignin in P...
