Developing molecular strategies for fractionation, delignification and characterisation of plant fibres.
In this paper we present an overview of the main strategies for physicochemical fractionation, sulphur- and chlorine-free delignification, and intelligent characterisation of various types of plant fibres, which have been experimentally investigated, as well as further developed and assessed by this group over the last ten years.
