referenceSun, Sun, Fowler, and Baird (2005) extracted and characterized original lignin and hemicelluloses from wheat straw.
perspectiveFuture research on lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) should focus on the total utilization of biomass, including hemicellulose, bio-based silica, and pectin, rather than focusing primarily on cellulose and lignin.
A critical review of industrial fiber hemp anatomy, agronomic ... bioresources.cnr.ncsu.edu 4 facts
measurementHemp hurds contain 18% to 27% hemicellulose and pectin, 21% to 28% lignin, 40% to 48% cellulose, 2.2% extractives, and 1.4% ash content, making them a viable option for use as a polymer reinforcement agent.
measurementHemp bast fibers are composed of 70% to 75% cellulose, 15% to 20% hemicellulose, 3% to 5% lignin, 0.8% pectin, 2% to 6% extractives, and 1% to 2% ash content, as reported by Manaia et al. (2019), Möller and Popescu (2009), and Zheljazkov et al. (2023).
claimPotassium uptake in industrial hemp increases with plant maturity, with the highest uptake occurring during the development stage of bast fibers, which causes significant increases in cellulose and hemicellulose content.
claimThe cellulose concentration of hemp bast fibers is higher at the center of the stalk than at the top or bottom, while lignin concentration decreases from the bottom to the top of the stalk, and hemicellulose content increases from the bottom to the top, according to Li et al. (2013).

The role of light in regulating plant growth, development and sugar ... frontiersin.org Jan 6, 2025 1 fact
claimLight inhibits cell wall deposition by affecting the accumulation of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin, which alters cell wall plasticity, growth, and mechanical properties in shoot tissues, while increasing cell wall thickness and cellulose content, according to Brüggenwirth and Knoche (2017) and Xu et al. (2024b).
