Preface
Lignocellulosic materials refer to the organic matter produced by trees, shrubs, and agricultural crops and are major feedstock for the pulp & paper industry, composite industry and packaging material. Renewable sources of lignocellulosic materials are natural fibers, agricultural residues and forest products. These agricultural wastes and forest feedstocks are sufficiently abundant and generate very low net greenhouse emissions. Forest wood products contain more lignin and less ash content, which makes them attractive to cost-effective transportation in comparison to agricultural residues. Lignocellulosics are being used in food packaging, composites and textile industries due to their advantages over other traditional materials which include low cost, renewability, non-toxicity, biodegradability etc. Lignocellulosic biomass is a main raw material for many industrial processes, but it usually displays a very poor microbial and moisture r
