Zh. Chen et al., DISTRIBUTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BAMBOO (SINOCALAMUS-AFFINIS) LIGNIN, Cellulose Chemistry and Technology, 27(5), 1993, pp. 519-524
For a better understanding of the properties of bamboo lignin and of i
ts delignification mechanism in pulping processes, milled bamboo ligni
n (MBL) from Sinocalamus affinis was isolated and characterized by usi
ng H-1-NMR-, UV- and IR-spectroscopy, nitrobenzene oxidation and eleme
ntal analysis. It is shown that the bamboo (Sinocalamus affinis) ligni
n is a GSH-type lignin. Arabinose, fucose and xylose were found in bam
boo lignin and a very close association between lignin and polysacchar
ides is suggested.
